Solution
The correct option is D200Hz The frequency of mth harmonic in an open organ pipe, ⇒vm=mv2l
Fundamnetal frequency for open organ pipe, m=1 ⇒v1=v2l
The frequency of nth harmonic in a closed organ pipe, ⇒vn=nv4l
The second overtone of the closed pipe is observed to be higher in frequency by 100Hz than the fundamental of the original pipe. ⇒3v4l−v2l=100Hz ⇒vl=400Hz
Fundamental frequency for open organ pipe, ⇒v1=v2l ⇒v1=400Hz2 ⇒v1=200Hz
