Q. In open organ pipe, if fundamental frequency is v, then the other frequencies are

A) V,2v,3v,4v
B) V,3v,5v
C) V,2v,4v,8v
D) None of these
Explanation

(a) In an open organ pipe, both ends of the pipe are open. There are pressure nodes (or displacement antinodes) at both ends. Oscillation from a harmonic series that includes all integral multiples of the fundamental frequency, i.e., all even and odd harmonics is present. Therefore, if fundamental frequency is n, then other frequencies are v, 2v, 3v, 4v…..
