The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that the quality of sound produced by an open pipe is better than that produced by a closed pipe. - **Open Pipe**: An open pipe can vibrate in such a way that it produces a fundamental frequency and all harmonics (overtones). This means it can produce a richer and more complex sound. - **Closed Pipe**: A closed pipe, on the other hand, can only produce the fundamental frequency and odd harmonics (1st, 3rd, 5th, etc.). This results in a sound that is less rich in harmonics compared to an open pipe. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason given states that an open pipe produces all harmonics, while a closed pipe does not. - This statement is accurate because: - An open pipe supports standing waves that can accommodate all harmonics. - A closed pipe can only support standing waves that correspond to odd harmonics due to the boundary condition of having one end closed. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - While both the assertion and reason are true, the reason does not provide a complete explanation for why the quality of sound from an open pipe is better. The quality of sound is not solely determined by the presence of all harmonics; it also involves how these harmonics combine and the overall timbre produced. ### Conclusion - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - The reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. Thus, the answer to the question is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation for the assertion. ---

"The sound produced by an open pipe is sweeter than that from a closed pipe." Way ?

In closed organ pipe at one end-

(A): Sound produced by an open organ pipe is richer than the sound produced by a closed organ pipe. (R): Outside air can enter the pipe from both ends, in case of open organ pipe.

First overtone frequency of a closed organ pipe is equal to the first overtone frequency of an open organ pipe. Further nth harmonic of closed organ pipe is also equal to the mth harmonic of open pipe, where n and m are (A)5,4 (B)7,5 (C)9,6 (D)7,3

The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe is sam eas the first overtone freuency of an open pipe. If the length of open pipe is 50cm, the length of closed pipe is

The fundamental frequency in an open organ pipe is equal to the third harmonic of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is 20 cm, the length of the open organ pipe is

The second overtone of an open pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of a closed pipe 2 m long. The length of the open pipe is

Assertion: The fundamental frequency of an open organ pipe increases as the temperature is increased. Reason: As the temperature increases, the velocity of sound increases more rapidly than length of the pipe.

Write down the expression for the nth harmonic in (i) closed pipe (ii) an open pipe.

[Q. Nos. 3-4] Difference in frequencies between 3rd overtone of closed pipe and 5th haronic of the same pipe is 400 Hz. Futher 3rd hormonic of this closed pipe os equal to 6th hormonic of another open pipe. Fundamental frequencies of closed pipe and open pipe are: a) 200 Hz, 400 Hz b) 150 Hz, 75 Hz c) 200 Hz, 100Hzz d) 400 Hz, 300Hz
