    Two closed organ pipes sounded simultaneously given 5 beats per second between the fundamentals. If the shorter pipe is 1.10 m long, the length of the longer pipe is

    A)  1.22 m                 

    B)  1.18 m

    C)  1.14 m                 

    D)  1.12 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    We have \[{{n}_{1}}-{{n}_{2}}=5\]                 \[\frac{v}{2\,{{l}_{1}}}-\frac{v}{\lambda {{l}_{2}}}=5\]                 \[\frac{1}{{{l}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{5\times 2}{v}\]                 \[\frac{1}{1.10}-\frac{1}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{10}{340}-\frac{1}{1.10}\]                 \[-\frac{1}{{{l}_{2}}}=-0.87\] or \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{1}{0.87}\]                 \[{{l}_{2}}=1.14\,m\] (Velocity of sound in air = 340 m/s.)
