For sound waves, if the number of nodes for the $5^{th}$ harmonic of an open-ended pipe is $n$ and that for the $9^{th}$ harmonic of the same pipe with one of its ends closed is $m$, the ratio $\frac{n}{m}$ is :

  • A
    $5$/$9$
  • B
    $9$/$5$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $3$/$5$

An organ pipe open at one end is vibrating in its first overtone and is in resonance with another pipe open at both ends vibrating in its third harmonic. The ratio of the length of the two pipes is:

$n_{1}$ is the frequency of a pipe closed at one end and $n_{2}$ is the frequency of a pipe open at both ends. If both are joined end to end,find the fundamental frequency of the closed pipe so formed.

An open pipe resonates with a tuning fork of frequency $500 \ Hz$. It is observed that two successive nodes are formed at distances $16 \ cm$ and $46 \ cm$ from the open end. The speed of sound in air in the pipe is ..... $m/s$.

$A$ 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 .... $m/s$.

$A$ tuning fork of frequency $480\, Hz$ is used in an experiment for measuring the speed of sound $(\nu)$ in air by the resonance tube method. Resonance is observed to occur at two successive lengths of the air column,$\ell_1 = 30\, cm$ and $\ell_2 = 70\, cm$. Then $\nu$ is equal to ..... $m/s$.
