Question 398: Waves

Question

Which one of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

In a pipe closed at one end only odd harmonics of the fundamental are produced. If $$\mathrm{f}$$ is the fundamental frequency then the harmonics produced are $$3 \mathrm{f}, 5 \mathrm{f}, 7 \mathrm{f}, \ldots \ldots$$ The difference between the successive overtones is $$2 \mathrm{f}$$.
$$\begin{aligned}
& 	herefore 250 \mathrm{~Hz}-150 \mathrm{~Hz}=2 \mathrm{f} \
& 	herefore 100 \mathrm{~Hz}=2 \mathrm{f} \
& 	herefore \quad \mathrm{f}=50 \mathrm{~Hz}
\end{aligned}$$
