The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is equal to the frequency of the second harmonic of an open pipe. The ratio of their lengths is

A

`1:2`

B

`1:4`

C

`1:8`

D

`1:16`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For closed pipe, fundamental frequency is,
`f_(1) =v/(4l)`
For open pipe, frequency of second harmonic
`f_(2) =v/L`
According to question, `f_(1) =f_(2)`
`v/(4l) =v/L` or `l/L =1/4`
