The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given pressure equation for the organ pipe and determine its characteristics based on the boundary conditions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Pressure Equation**: The pressure in the organ pipe is given by: \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi x}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) \] Here, \( P_0 \) is the amplitude of the pressure wave, \( x \) is the position in meters, and \( t \) is the time in seconds. 2. **Determine the Wavelength**: The term \(\frac{3\pi x}{2}\) indicates the wave number \( k \). The wave number \( k \) can be expressed as: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] From the equation, we have: \[ k = \frac{3\pi}{2} \implies \lambda = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{3\pi}{2}} = \frac{4}{3} \text{ meters} \] 3. **Identify the Length of the Pipe**: The length of the pipe \( L \) can be determined by the relationship between the wavelength and the pipe's boundary conditions. For a pipe closed at one end and open at the other, the length of the pipe is given by: \[ L = \frac{\lambda}{4} = \frac{4/3}{4} = \frac{1}{3} \text{ meters} \] However, since we are given that the pressure function indicates a node at the closed end and an antinode at the open end, we need to check the maximum and minimum pressure conditions. 4. **Check Boundary Conditions**: - At \( x = 0 \): \[ P = P_0 \cos(0) \sin(0) = P_0 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 0 \] This indicates that there is a node at \( x = 0 \), which means this end is closed. - At \( x = L \) (where \( L = \frac{2}{3} \)): \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi \cdot \frac{2}{3}}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) = P_0 \cos(\pi) \sin(300\pi t) = -P_0 \sin(300\pi t \] This indicates that there is an antinode at \( x = \frac{2}{3} \), which means this end is open. 5. **Conclusion**: The organ pipe is closed at one end (at \( x = 0 \)) and open at the other end (at \( x = \frac{2}{3} \)). The length of the pipe is \( \frac{2}{3} \) meters. ### Final Answer: The organ pipe is closed at one end and open at the other end, with a length of \( \frac{2}{3} \) meters.
