Question:medium
When an open pipe is suddenly closed at one end, the frequency of the third harmonic of the closed pipe is found to be $50\text{ Hz}$ more than the fundamental frequency of the open pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open pipe is
When an open pipe is suddenly closed at one end, the frequency of the third harmonic of the closed pipe is found to be $50\text{ Hz}$ more than the fundamental frequency of the open pipe. The fundamental frequency of the open pipe is
Show Hint
Always remember that for the same length, an open pipe has a fundamental frequency twice that of a closed pipe. Also, closed pipes only produce odd harmonics.
