Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For a closed organ pipe, the frequency of fundamental mode is
`upsilon_(C)=v/(4L_(C))`
where v is the velocity of sound in air and `L_(C)` is the length of the closed pipe
for an organ pipe, the frequency of fundamental mode is
`upsilon_(O)=v/(2L_(O))`
where `L_(O)` is the length of the open pipe
`becauseL_(C)=L_(O)` (Given)
`thereforeupsilon_(O)=2upsilon_(C)`...(i)
`upsilon_(O)-upsilon_(C)=2` (Given) ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
`upsilon_(O)=4 Hz,upsilon_(C)=2Hz`
When the length of the open pipe is halved, its frequency of fundamental mode is
`upsilon'_(O)=v/(2)(L_(O)/2))=2upsilon_(O)=2xx4Hz=8Hz`
When the length of the closed pipe is doubled, its frequency of fundamental mode is
`upsilon'_(C)=v/(4(2L_(C)))=1/2upsilon_(C)=1/2xx2Hz=1Hz`
Hence number of beats produced per second
`=upsilon'_(O)-upsilon'_(C)=8-1`=7
