For a certain organ pipe, three successive resonance frequencies are observed at 425, 595, and 765 Hz respectively. Taking the speed of sound in air to be 340 m/s, the fundamental frequency of the pipe (in Hz) is:
(1) 425
(2) 170
(3) 85
(4) 245
A closed pipe of length 10 cm has its fundamental frequency equal to half of that of the second overtone of an open pipe. The length of the open pipe:
(1) 10 cm
(2) 20 cm
(3) 30 cm
(4) 40 cm
The vibrations of four air columns under identical conditions are represented in the figure below. The ratio of frequencies will be:
(1) 12: 6: 3: 4
(2) 1: 2: 4: 3
(3) 4: 2: 3: 1
(4) 6: 2: 3: 4
In the resonance tube, two successive positions of resonance are obtained at 15 cm and 48 cm. If the frequency of the fork is 500 cps, the velocity of sound is:
(1) 330 m/s
(2) 300 m/s
(3) 1000 m/s
(4) 360 m/s
