A person blows into open- end of a long pipe. As a result,a high pressure pulse of air travel down the pipe. When this pulse reaches the other end of the pipe,

A

a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

B

a low-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open

C

a low-pressure pulse starts traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

D

a high-pressure pulse starts travelling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is closed.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D

At open end phase of pressure wave charge by `pi` so compression returns as rarefraction. While at closed end phaseof pressure wave does not charge so compression return as compression.

Organ pipes are musical instruments which are used for producing musical sound by blowing air into the pipe. Organ pipes are of two types: closed organ pipes are closed at one end and open at the other. Open organ pipes are open at both ends. The study shows that the overall musical sound produced by an open organ piipe is richer than the musical sound produced by a closed organ pipe. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Why the overall musical sound produced by an open organ pipe is richer than the musical sound produced by a closed organ pipe ? (ii) What does this study imply in day to day life ?
