$A$ source of sound placed at the open end of a resonance column sends an acoustic wave of pressure amplitude ${\rho _0}$ inside the tube. If the atmospheric pressure is ${\rho _A},$ then the ratio of maximum and minimum pressure at the closed end of the tube will be

  • A
    $\frac{{\rho _A + \rho _0}}{{\rho _A - \rho _0}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{\rho _A + 2\rho _0}}{{\rho _A - 2\rho _0}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{\rho _A}}{{\rho _0}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\rho _A + 0.5\rho _0}}{{\rho _A - 0.5\rho _0}}$

In the case of a closed organ pipe,which harmonic is the $p^{th}$ overtone?

$A$ pipe open at both ends and a pipe closed at one end have the same length and both are vibrating in their fundamental mode. If the air column vibrating in the open pipe has a resonance frequency $n_1$ and the air column vibrating in the closed pipe has a resonance frequency $n_2$,then:

$A$ tuning fork of frequency $340 \ Hz$ is vibrated just above a tube of $120 \ cm$ height. Water is poured slowly into the tube. What is the minimum height of water necessary for resonance (in $cm$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m/s$)

An open and a closed organ pipe are of same length. The ratio of the frequency of the $n^{th}$ mode of vibration of the two pipes is

The fundamental frequency of an open pipe is $n$. If it is closed from one end, then the frequency of the $2^{nd}$ harmonic of the closed pipe is higher by $200 \,Hz$ than $n$. The value of $n$ is: (in $\,Hz$)
