Question

An open pipe of length 1^1

and a closed pipe of length 1^2 both resonate with the same tuning fork in their fundamental mode of vibration. Calculate the value of 1^1/1^2​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that an open pipe is open at both ends and closed pipe is closed at one end. Also the fundamental for an open end pipe needs to be an antinode at both ends, since the air can move at both ends. While the fundamental for a closed pipe has a node at the closed end and an antinode at the open end.
