Q.A pipe open at both the ends has a fundamental frequency of 600 Hz. The first overtone of a pipe closed at one end has the same frequency as the first overtone of the open pipe. How long are the two pipes? (Take velocity of sound to be 330 m/s)

The open pipe has fundamental no=600n_o=600 Hz, so from no=v/2Lon_o=v/2L_o: Lo=v2no=3302×600=3301200=0.275L_o=\dfrac{v}{2n_o}=\dfrac{330}{2\times600}=\dfrac{330}{1200}=0.275 m =27.5=27.5 cm. The open pipe's first overtone (second harmonic, since all harmonics occur) is 2no=2×600=12002n_o=2\times600=1200 Hz. …
