The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of overtones in a closed organ pipe with a given length and diameter, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the effective length of the closed organ pipe. The effective length \( L' \) of a closed organ pipe is given by the formula: \[ L' = L + 0.3 \times d \] where \( L \) is the actual length of the pipe and \( d \) is the diameter of the pipe. Given: - Length \( L = 83.2 \, \text{cm} = 0.832 \, \text{m} \) - Diameter \( d = 6 \, \text{cm} = 0.06 \, \text{m} \) Calculating the effective length: \[ L' = 0.832 + 0.3 \times 0.06 = 0.832 + 0.018 = 0.850 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the fundamental frequency of the organ pipe. The fundamental frequency \( f_0 \) for a closed organ pipe is given by: \[ f_0 = \frac{v}{4L'} \] where \( v \) is the velocity of sound. Given: - Velocity of sound \( v = 340 \, \text{m/s} \) Calculating the fundamental frequency: \[ f_0 = \frac{340}{4 \times 0.850} = \frac{340}{3.4} = 100 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 3: Determine the frequencies of the overtones. The frequencies of the overtones in a closed organ pipe can be calculated using the formula: \[ f_n = \frac{v}{4L'}(2n + 1) \] where \( n \) is the overtone number (starting from \( n = 0 \) for the fundamental frequency). Calculating the first few overtones: - For \( n = 0 \) (fundamental frequency): \[ f_0 = 100 \, \text{Hz} \] - For \( n = 1 \) (first overtone): \[ f_1 = \frac{340}{4 \times 0.850}(2 \times 1 + 1) = 100 \times 3 = 300 \, \text{Hz} \] - For \( n = 2 \) (second overtone): \[ f_2 = \frac{340}{4 \times 0.850}(2 \times 2 + 1) = 100 \times 5 = 500 \, \text{Hz} \] - For \( n = 3 \) (third overtone): \[ f_3 = \frac{340}{4 \times 0.850}(2 \times 3 + 1) = 100 \times 7 = 700 \, \text{Hz} \] - For \( n = 4 \) (fourth overtone): \[ f_4 = \frac{340}{4 \times 0.850}(2 \times 4 + 1) = 100 \times 9 = 900 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 4: Count the number of overtones below 1000 Hz. The frequencies calculated are: - \( f_0 = 100 \, \text{Hz} \) - \( f_1 = 300 \, \text{Hz} \) - \( f_2 = 500 \, \text{Hz} \) - \( f_3 = 700 \, \text{Hz} \) - \( f_4 = 900 \, \text{Hz} \) All these frequencies are below 1000 Hz. Therefore, the number of overtones (excluding the fundamental frequency) is: - Overtones: \( f_1, f_2, f_3, f_4 \) (4 overtones) ### Final Answer: The number of overtones below 1000 Hz is **4**. ---
