Discuss stationary waves in pipes and explain the types of pipes.
(N/A) Stationary waves are produced in an air column inside a pipe due to the superposition of incident and reflected waves of the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions.
Pipes are classified into two types:
$(1)$ Open Pipe: $A$ pipe that is open at both ends. In this case,antinodes are formed at both open ends. Example: Flute.
$(2)$ Closed Pipe: $A$ pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other. In this case,an antinode is formed at the open end and a node is formed at the closed end. Example: $A$ tube partially filled with water.

View Solution$A$ tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of $27\,^{\circ}C$,two successive resonances are produced at $20\,cm$ and $73\,cm$ of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is $320\,Hz$,the velocity of sound in air at $27\,^{\circ}C$ is .... $m/s$.

View SolutionFor a certain organ pipe,the first three resonance frequencies are in the ratio of $1:3:5$ respectively. If the frequency of the fifth harmonic is $405 \, Hz$ and the speed of sound in air is $324 \, ms^{-1}$,the length of the organ pipe is $.......... m$.
On closing an open organ pipe from one end, it is noticed that the frequency of the third harmonic is $50 \,Hz$ more than the fundamental frequency of vibration in the open organ pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open organ pipe is (in $\,Hz$)
