    An organ pipe open at one end is vibrating in second harmonic and is in resonance with another pipe open at both the ends and vibrating in second overtone. The ratio of length of two pipes is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]                                  

    D)  \[\frac{3}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    For, an organ pipe open at one end, Frequency of 2nd hormonic or first overtone                 \[={{n}_{1}}=\frac{3v}{4{{l}_{1}}}\] For the organ pipe open at both the ends, Frequency of 2nd overtone or third harmonic                 \[={{n}_{2}}=\frac{3v}{2{{l}_{2}}}\] Since,           \[{{n}_{1}}={{n}_{2}}\] So           \[\frac{3v}{4{{l}_{1}}}=\frac{3v}{2{{l}_{2}}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
