A cylindrical resonance tube, open at both ends, has a fundamental frequency $f$ in air. If half of the length is dipped vertically in water, the fundamental of the air column will be
  1. $\frac{3f}{2}$
  2. $2f$
  3. $f$
  4. $\frac{f}{2}$

Solution

Frequency, $f = \frac{v}{2l}$ and $f' = \frac{v}{4(l / 2)} = \frac{v}{2l} = f$ when half of the length is dipped in water, it will become closed pipe.
