Reflection from an Open End

An organ pipe...

Question

An organ pipe, open at both ends, contains
(a) longitudinal stationary waves
(b) longitudinal travelling waves
(c) transverse stationary waves
(d) transverse travelling waves.

Open in App

Solution

(a) longitudinal stationary waves

An open organ pipe has sound waves that are longitudinal. These waves undergo repeated reflections till resonance to form standing waves.
