        A closed argon pipe and an open argan pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. What is the ratio of their lengths?

    A)  \[1:2\]                                 

    B)  \[2:1\]

    C)  \[2:3\]                                 

    D)  \[4:3\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Avoiding end correction, the length of closed organ pipe is \[{{l}_{1}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{1}}}{4}\] or\[{{\lambda }_{1}}=4{{l}_{1}}\] The length of open organ pipe is                 \[{{l}_{2}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{2}}}{2}\] or            \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=2{{l}_{2}}\] Here,      \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}\] So,          \[\frac{v}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=\frac{v}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}\] Or           \[\frac{v}{4{{l}_{1}}}=\frac{v}{{{l}_{2}}}\] Therefore, \[{{l}_{1}}:{{l}_{2}}=1:2\]
