The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (a): Find the length of the closed pipe 1. **Identify the formula for the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe**: The fundamental frequency (f) of a closed pipe is given by the formula: \[ f = \frac{V}{4L} \] where \( V \) is the speed of sound in air, and \( L \) is the length of the pipe. 2. **Rearrange the formula to find the length (L)**: Rearranging the formula gives: \[ L = \frac{V}{4f} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula**: Given: - Speed of sound \( V = 345 \, \text{m/s} \) - Fundamental frequency \( f = 220 \, \text{Hz} \) Substituting these values: \[ L = \frac{345}{4 \times 220} \] 4. **Calculate the length**: Performing the calculation: \[ L = \frac{345}{880} \approx 0.392 \, \text{m} \] Thus, the length of the closed pipe is approximately **0.392 meters**. ### Part (b): Find the length of the open pipe 1. **Determine the frequency of the second overtone of the closed pipe**: The second overtone of a closed pipe corresponds to the frequency given by: \[ f_{2nd \, overtone} = 5 \frac{V}{4L} \] Since we already know \( L \) from part (a), we can find this frequency: \[ f_{2nd \, overtone} = 5 \times 220 \, \text{Hz} = 1100 \, \text{Hz} \] 2. **Identify the formula for the frequency of the third harmonic of an open pipe**: The frequency of the third harmonic (f) of an open pipe is given by: \[ f = 3 \frac{V}{2L_0} \] where \( L_0 \) is the length of the open pipe. 3. **Set the two frequencies equal**: Since the second overtone of the closed pipe has the same frequency as the third harmonic of the open pipe, we can set them equal: \[ 1100 = 3 \frac{345}{2L_0} \] 4. **Rearrange to find \( L_0 \)**: Rearranging gives: \[ L_0 = \frac{3 \times 345}{2 \times 1100} \] 5. **Calculate the length of the open pipe**: Performing the calculation: \[ L_0 = \frac{1035}{2200} \approx 0.470 \, \text{m} \] Thus, the length of the open pipe is approximately **0.470 meters**. ### Summary of Answers: - Length of the closed pipe: **0.392 m** - Length of the open pipe: **0.470 m**
