    The lengths of two open organ pipes are \[l\] and \[(l+\Delta l)\] respectively. Neglecting end correction the frequency of beats between them will be approximately

    A) \[\frac{v}{2l}\]                                  

    B) \[\frac{v}{4l}\]

    C) \[\frac{v\Delta l}{2{{l}^{2}}}\]                                    

    D) \[\frac{v\Delta l}{l}\] (here v is the speed of sound)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    For open organ pipes, frequency \[f=\frac{v}{2l}\] So,          \[{{f}_{1}}=\frac{v}{2l}\] and \[{{f}_{2}}=\frac{v}{2(l+\Delta l)}\] \[\therefore \]Number of beats produced per second                 \[=|{{f}_{1}}-{{f}_{2}}|\]                 \[=\left| \frac{v}{2l}-\frac{v}{2(l+\Delta l)} \right|\]                 \[=\frac{v}{2}\left| \frac{1}{l}-\frac{1}{l+\Delta t} \right|\]                 \[=\frac{v\Delta l}{2l(l+\Delta l)}\]                 \[=\frac{v\Delta l}{2{{l}^{2}}}\] \[\because \] \[\Delta l\]is negligible in comparison of I.
