91Ó°ÊÓ

A closed-organ pipe of length \(L\) is placed in a container having gas of density \(\rho_{1}\) and an open organ pipe is placed in another container having gas of density \(\rho_{2}\), both the gases are of same compressibility. If the frequency of first overtone for both the pipes is same, the length of open organ pipe is (A) \(L\) (B) \(\frac{4 L}{3} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}\) (C) \(L \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}\) (D) \(\frac{4 L}{3} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{2}}{\rho_{1}}}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
\(L_{open} = \frac{4L}{3} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Write the formula for the frequency of closed and open organ pipes

\(f_{closed}\) = the frequency of the closed organ pipe \(f_{open}\) = the frequency of the open organ pipe \(L_{closed}\) = the length of the closed organ pipe \(L_{open}\) = the length of the open organ pipe The formula for the frequency of a closed organ pipe is given by: \(f_{closed} = \frac{(2n - 1) v}{4L_{closed}}\) The formula for the frequency of an open organ pipe is given by: \(f_{open} = \frac{2n v}{2L_{open}}\) Where: - \(n\) is the mode number - \(v\) is the speed of sound in the gas Since the question mentioned the first overtone frequency, which is the second harmonic frequency, the value of n is 2 in both cases.
02

Equate the frequencies for both organ pipes

Given that the first overtone frequency of the both organ pipes is the same, we can write: \(\frac{(2 \cdot 2 - 1) v}{4L} = \frac{2 \cdot 2 v}{2L_{open}}\)
03

Solve for the length of the open organ pipe in terms of the closed organ pipe

To solve for the length of the open organ pipe, we will simplify the equation: \(\frac{3v}{4L} = \frac{4v}{2L_{open}}\) Divide both sides by \(v\): \(\frac{3}{4L} = \frac{2}{L_{open}}\) Now, we can rearrange for \(L_{open}\): \(L_{open} = \frac{8}{3} L\) However, the question also states that both gases have the same compressibility but different densities (\(\rho_1\) and \(\rho_2\)). In this case, we should also take the densities into account: The speed of sound in a gas is given by the formula \(v = \sqrt{\frac{\kappa P}{\rho}}\), where \(\kappa\) is the adiabatic index, \(P\) is the pressure, and \(\rho\) is the density of the gas. As both gases have the same compressibility, their speeds of sound are related by \(\sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}\). We can use this relationship to obtain the length of the open organ pipe in terms of the closed organ pipe:
04

Incorporate densities and solve for the length of the open organ pipe

\(L_{open} = \frac{8}{3} L \sqrt{\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}\) Comparing our answer to the provided multiple-choice options, we find that the correct answer is: (B) \(L_{open} = \frac{4L}{3} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{1}}{\rho_{2}}}\)
