The frequency of vibrating air column in...

The frequency of vibrating air column in closed organ pipe is n. If it length be boubled and radius halved. Its frequency will be nearly :

A

`(n)/(2)`

B

`4n`

C

n

D

`2n`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For a closed organ pipe,
`n=(v)/(4L) rArr n prop (1)/(L)`
If `L=2L`
Then `n' prop (1)/(2L)`
`(n')/(n')=(L)/(2L)`
(or) `n'(n)/(2)`
Radius has no effect on frequency.
