The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how the fundamental frequency of an open pipe changes with an increase in temperature, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Fundamental Frequency Formula The fundamental frequency \( f \) of an open pipe is given by the formula: \[ f = \frac{N \cdot V}{2L} \] where: - \( f \) = fundamental frequency - \( N \) = mode number (for fundamental frequency, \( N = 1 \)) - \( V \) = speed of sound in the medium - \( L \) = length of the pipe ### Step 2: Simplify for Fundamental Frequency For the fundamental frequency (first harmonic), we set \( N = 1 \): \[ f = \frac{V}{2L} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the Effect of Temperature on Speed of Sound The speed of sound \( V \) in air (or any medium) is affected by temperature. The relationship is given by: \[ V \propto \sqrt{T} \] This means that as the temperature \( T \) increases, the speed of sound \( V \) also increases. ### Step 4: Relate Speed of Sound to Frequency Since the fundamental frequency \( f \) is directly proportional to the speed of sound \( V \): \[ f \propto V \] Thus, if \( V \) increases due to an increase in temperature, the frequency \( f \) will also increase. ### Step 5: Conclusion Therefore, when the temperature is increased, the fundamental frequency of the open pipe also increases. ### Final Answer The fundamental frequency of an open pipe increases with an increase in temperature. ---
