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
12.5 cm
8 cm
13.2 cm
16 cm
For a closed organ pipe, the third harmonic frequency is . For an open organ pipe, the fundamental frequency is . Given , so . Thus, . Note: The provided answer key in the image says (3) 13.2 cm, but the calculation yields 13.33 cm.
