    Two closed organ pipes A and B have the same length, A is wider than B. They resonate in the fundamental made at frequencies\[{{n}_{A}}\]and\[{{n}_{B}}\]respectively

    A)  \[{{n}_{A}}={{n}_{B}}\]                

    B)  \[{{n}_{A}}>{{n}_{B}}\]

    C)  \[{{n}_{A}}<{{n}_{B}}\]

    D)  either  or  depending on the ratio of their diameters

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let\[l=\]length of the pipe and\[d=\]diameter of the pipe In the fundamental mode of vibration \[\frac{\pi }{4}=(l+0.3d)\] where, 0.3 d is the necessary end correction. Frequency, \[n=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{v}{4(l+0.3d)}\] As\[l\]is same wider pipe  will resonate at a lower frequency, Le.,\[{{n}_{A}}<{{n}_{B}}\].
