Cevap: 1:4
Cevap
The ratio of the length of the closed pipe to the length of the open pipe is 1:4.
The fundamental mode of a pipe closed at one end has a frequency of f=4Lcv. The first overtone of a pipe open at both ends corresponds to the second harmonic, which has a frequency of f=Lov. Equating the two frequencies gives 4Lcv=Lov, which simplifies directly to LoLc=41 or 1:4.
Adım Adım Çözüm
1
Express the fundamental frequency of the pipe closed at one end
fc=4Lcv, where v is the speed of sound and Lc is the length of the closed pipe.
A pipe closed at one end supports odd harmonics, and its fundamental wavelength is λc=4Lc.
2
Express the frequency of the first overtone of the open pipe
fo=2Lo2v=Lov, where Lo is the length of the open pipe.
An open pipe supports all harmonics (n=1,2,3,…). The fundamental is n=1 and the first overtone corresponds to n=2.
3
Equate the two frequencies and solve for the length ratio LoLc
