The ratio of frequencies of fundamental harmonic produced by an open pipe to that of closed pipe having the same length is:

A

3:13:1

B

1:21:2

C

2:12:1

D

1:31:3

Step-by-Step Solution

The fundamental frequency for a pipe open at both ends is given by fopen=v2Lf_{\text{open}} = \frac{v}{2L}. The fundamental frequency for a pipe closed at one end is given by fclosed=v4Lf_{\text{closed}} = \frac{v}{4L}. Taking the ratio of the two frequencies for the same length LL: fopenfclosed=v2Lv4L=4L2L=21\frac{f_{\text{open}}}{f_{\text{closed}}} = \frac{\frac{v}{2L}}{\frac{v}{4L}} = \frac{4L}{2L} = \frac{2}{1}. Therefore, the ratio is 2:12:1.
