An organ pipe enclosed at one end has fundamental frequency of 1500 Hz. The maximum number of overtones generated by this pipe which a normal person can hear, is :

A

6

B

11

C

9

D

13

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Fundametnal frequency `v_(1) = 1500 `Hz
maximum frequency which a man can hear
= 20, 000 Hz
`therefore` In n is the number of overtones generated then
`v. = (2n + 1) v_(1) `
20,000 = (2n + 1) `xx` 1500 `" "rArr ` n = 6
Correct choice is (a).
