Q. In the fundamental mode, time taken by the wave to reach the closed end of the air filled pipe is 0.01s. the fundamental frequency is

A) 25
B) 12.5
C) 20
D) 15
Explanation

(a) In the fundamental mode.
$frequency\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ n = \frac{v}{\lambda}$
$n = \frac{v}{4\iota}$
$n = \frac{1}{t \times 4\iota}\ \ \ \ \ \left( \because v = \frac{1}{t} \right)$
$n = \frac{1}{0.01 \times 4}$
$n = 25$
