A cylindrical tube open at both ends has a fundamental frequency f in air. The tube is dipped vertically in water so that 60 % of the tube is in water. Then the fundamental frequency of air column is
  1. f2
  2. 5f4
  3. 3f4
  4. 2f

Solution

Consider the length of the tube be L

The fundamental frequency for the open organ pipe is,

f=V2 L

The figure below represents the 60 % of tube is dipped
vertically in water.

The length of the closed organ pipe is,

l'=40100 L

l'=2 L5

The fundamental frequency of air column is,

f'=V4l'

Substitute the values in the above equation.

f'=V4 2 L5

f'=54V2 L

f'=54f
