An open organ pipe and closed pipe have same length. The ratio of frequencies of their n^(th) over tone is

Two narrow cylindrical pipes A and B have the same length. Pipe A is open at both ends and is filled with a monoatomic gas of molar mass M_(A) . Pipe B is open at one end and closed at the other end, and is filled with a diatomic gas of molar mass M_(B) . Both gases are at the same temperature. (a) If the frequency of the second harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe A is equal to the frequency of the third harmonic of the fundamental mode in pipe B , determine the value of M_(B)//M_(B) . (b) Now the open end of pipe B is also closed (so that the pipe is closed at both ends). Find the ratio of the fundamental frequency in pipe A to that in pipe B .
