Discuss stationary waves in pipes and explain the types of pipes.
(N/A) Stationary waves are produced in an air column inside a pipe due to the superposition of incident and reflected waves of the same frequency and amplitude traveling in opposite directions.
Pipes are classified into two types:
$(1)$ Open Pipe: $A$ pipe that is open at both ends. In this case,antinodes are formed at both open ends. Example: Flute.
$(2)$ Closed Pipe: $A$ pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other. In this case,an antinode is formed at the open end and a node is formed at the closed end. Example: $A$ tube partially filled with water.

An organ pipe open at one end is vibrating in its first overtone and is in resonance with another pipe open at both ends vibrating in its third harmonic. The ratio of the length of the two pipes is:
MediumAIIMS 2017
View SolutionThe second overtone of an open organ pipe is equal to the first overtone of a closed organ pipe. If the length of the closed organ pipe is $15 \ cm$,the length of the open organ pipe is: (in $cm$)

View Solution$A$ source of frequency $340 \,Hz$ is kept above a vertical cylindrical tube closed at the lower end. The length of the tube is $120 \,cm$. Water is slowly poured in just enough to produce resonance. Then, the minimum height (velocity of sound $= 340 \,m/s$) of the water level in the tube for that resonance is (in $\,m$)
$A$ tuning fork of frequency $340 \ Hz$ is vibrated just above a tube of $120 \ cm$ height. Water is poured slowly into the tube. What is the minimum height of water necessary for resonance (in $cm$)? (Speed of sound in air $= 340 \ m/s$)
Difficult
View Solution$A$ resonance tube is old and has a jagged end. It is still used in the laboratory to determine the velocity of sound in air. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $512\,Hz$ produces the first resonance when the tube is filled with water to a mark $11\,cm$ below a reference mark,near the open end of the tube. The experiment is repeated with another fork of frequency $256\,Hz$,which produces the first resonance when water reaches a mark $27\,cm$ below the reference mark. The velocity of sound in air,obtained in the experiment,is close to .... $ms^{-1}$
