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 traveling up the pipe, if the other end of the pipe is open.

B

a low-pressure pulse starts traveling 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 traveling 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 phase of pressure wave does not change so compression return as compression.

A person places his ear at the end of a long steel pipe. He hears two distinct sounds at an interval of 0.5 s when another person hammers at the other end of the pipe. If the speeds of sounds in metal and air are 3630 m//s and 330 m//s respectively, find the distance between the two persons.

The end correction of the open pipe is

If you clap on one end of a long steel pipe you will hear two distinct sounds on the other end of the pipe. Explain.

If the frequency of first harmonic of a closed pipe is in unison with the third harmonic of an open pipe. Then, the ratio of lengths of the pipe closed at one end to the open at both the ends is

If the end correction of an open pipe is 0.8 cm, then the inner radius of that pipe will be

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 ?
