Sound Waves & Organ Pipes

Q122 Jan 2025 · Shift 1MCQ
A closed organ and an open organ tube are filled by two different gases having same bulk modulus but different densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$, respectively. The frequency of $9^{th}$ harmonic of closed tube is identical with $4^{th}$ harmonic of open tube. If the length of the closed tube is 10 cm and the density ratio of the gases is $\rho_1:\rho_2 = 1:16$, then the length of the open tube is :
  1. A
    $\frac{15}{9}$ cm
  2. B
    $\frac{20}{9}$ cm
  3. C
    $\frac{20}{7}$ cm
  4. D
    $\frac{15}{7}$ cm
Q228 Jan 2025 · Shift 1MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
  1. A
    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. B
    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
  3. C
    A is true but R is false
  4. D
    A is false but R is true

  1. A
    $+30$ m/s
  2. B
    $-30$ m/s
  3. C
    $+60$ m/s
  4. D
    $-60$ m/s
