Solution

The correct option is C f
For open organ pipe, fundamental frequency,
f=v2l,
where l is the length of an organ pipe.
l=v2f
After the pipe is half dipped in water, it becomes a closed organ pipe and its new length is,
l=v4f
So, fundamental frequency of closed organ pipe,
f=v4l
[speed is same as medium is same]
f=v4×v4f=f
