The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the frequency of beats between two open organ pipes of lengths \( l \) and \( l + \Delta l \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Frequency Formula for Open Organ Pipes**: The frequency \( n \) of an open organ pipe is given by the formula: \[ n = \frac{V}{2L} \] where \( V \) is the speed of sound in air and \( L \) is the length of the pipe. 2. **Calculate the Frequencies of Both Pipes**: - For the first pipe of length \( l \): \[ n_1 = \frac{V}{2l} \] - For the second pipe of length \( l + \Delta l \): \[ n_2 = \frac{V}{2(l + \Delta l)} \] 3. **Determine the Beat Frequency**: The beat frequency \( f_{beat} \) is the absolute difference between the two frequencies: \[ f_{beat} = |n_1 - n_2| \] Substituting the expressions for \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \): \[ f_{beat} = \left| \frac{V}{2l} - \frac{V}{2(l + \Delta l)} \right| \] 4. **Simplify the Expression**: Factor out \( \frac{V}{2} \): \[ f_{beat} = \frac{V}{2} \left| \frac{1}{l} - \frac{1}{l + \Delta l} \right| \] Now, simplify the difference: \[ \frac{1}{l} - \frac{1}{l + \Delta l} = \frac{(l + \Delta l) - l}{l(l + \Delta l)} = \frac{\Delta l}{l(l + \Delta l)} \] Thus, \[ f_{beat} = \frac{V}{2} \cdot \frac{\Delta l}{l(l + \Delta l)} \] 5. **Approximate for Small \( \Delta l \)**: If \( \Delta l \) is small compared to \( l \), we can approximate \( l + \Delta l \) as \( l \): \[ f_{beat} \approx \frac{V \Delta l}{2l^2} \] ### Final Result: The frequency of beats between the two pipes is approximately: \[ f_{beat} \approx \frac{V \Delta l}{2l^2} \]
