Question

Solution
Given:
Length of cylindrical metal tube L = 50 cm
Speed of sound in air v = 340 ms−1
Fundamental frequency \[\left( f_1 \right)\]of an open organ pipe :
\[f_1 = \left( \frac{v}{2L} \right)\]
\[ = \frac{340}{2 \times 50 \times {10}^{- 2}} = 340 \text { Hertz }\]
So, the required harmonics will be in the range of 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz.
\[f_2 = 2 \times 340 = 680 \text { Hz }\]
\[ f_3 = 3 \times 340 = 1020 \text{ Hz }\]
\[ f_4 = 4 \times 340 = 1360 \text{ Hz }\]
\[ f_5 = 5 \times 340 = 1700 \text { Hz }\]
\[ f_6 = 6 \times 340 = 2040 \text { Hz }\]
f2, f3, f4... are the second, third, fourth overtone, and so on.
The possible frequencies between 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz are 1020 Hz, 1360 Hz and 1700 Hz.
