    A whistle whose an column is open at both ends has a fundamental frequency of 5100 Hz. If the speed of sound in air is \[340\,m{{s}^{-1}},\] the length of the whistle, in cm, is

    A)  5/3                 

    B)  10/3

    C)  5                   

    D)  20/3

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     For an open pipe, the frequency \[f=\frac{v}{2l}\Rightarrow 5100\frac{340}{2\times l}\] \[l=\frac{340}{5100\times 2}\Rightarrow l=\frac{2}{30\times 2}=\frac{1}{30}m\] \[l=\frac{100}{30}=\frac{10}{3}cm\]
