Q. A closed organ pipe and an open organ pipe are tuned to the same fundamental frequency. The ratio of their length is

A) 1:1
B) 2:1
C) 1:4
D) 1:2
Explanation

(d) Fundamental frequency of close pipe,
$v_{1} = \frac{v}{4l_{1}}$
Fundamental frequency of open pipe,
$v_{2} = \frac{v}{2l_{2}}$
But $v_{1} = v_{2}$
$\therefore\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}$
