Given An open organ pipe has a fundamental frequency of 300 Hz. The first overtone of a closed organ pipe has the same frequency as the first overtone of the open pipe. Velocity of sound in air =330m/s. The length of the pipes are Frequency is v/2L = 300 hz So first overtone will be v/l = 600 hz So frequency of 1st overtone of open pipe is equal to frequency of 1st overtone of closed pipe. Speed of sound is 330 m/s Now 3v/4l = 600 600 x 4l = 3v 4l = 3v/600 4l = 3v/600 l = 3 x 330/600 x 4 l = 33/80 l = 0.4125 m l = 41.25 cm length of pipe is 41.25 cm

Frequency is v/2L = 300 hz
So first overtone will be v/l = 600 hz
So frequency of 1st overtone of open pipe is equal to frequency of 1st overtone of closed pipe.
Speed of sound is 330 m/s
Now 3v/4l = 600
600 x 4l = 3v
4l = 3v/600
4l = 3v/600
l = 3 x 330/600 x 4
l = 33/80
l = 0.4125 m
l = 41.25 cm
