Hint: In this question, we need to find the ratio of closed and open organ pipes if they are tuned to the same frequency. So, we need to use the following formula. After, equating
the equations for closed organ pipe and open organ pipe, we will get the desired result.
Formula used:
The formula for fundamental frequency for closed organ pipe is given by
v
fc =
4Lc
Similarly, the formula for fundamental frequency for open organ pipe is given by

9/24/23, 7:13 PM A closed organ pipe and an open organ pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. Determine the ratio of their lengths.A. 1 : 1B. 2 : 1C. 1 : 4D. 1 : 2
Where, fc is the fundamental frequency for closed organ pipe, fo is the fundamental frequency for open organ pipe, v is the speed of wave, Lc is the length of closed organ
We know that, the basic frequency for closed organ pipe is,
v
fc =
4Lc
v
fo =
2Lo
So, according to the given condition, both the pipes are tuned to the same frequency.Thus, we get
fc = fo
v v
So, =
4Lc 2Lo
By simplifying, we get
1 1
=
4Lc 2Lo
⇒ 4Lc = 2Lo
⇒ 2Lc = Lo
Lc 1
=
Lo 2
That means Lc : Lo = 1 : 2

Hence, the ratio of closed and open organ pipes, if they are tuned to the same frequency, is 1:2.
