Q. A pipe $30\ cm$ long is open at both ends. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a $1.1\ kHz$ source? (Take speed of sound in air $= 330\ ms^{- 1}$)

A) First
B) Second
C) Third
D) Fourth
Explanation

(b) Fundamental frequency of open pipe
First harmonic $= n_{1} = \frac{v}{2l} = \frac{330}{2 \times 0.3} = 550\ Hz$
Second harmonic $= 2 \times n_{1} = 1100\ Hz. = 1.1\ kHz$
