Question
Figure shows a stretched string of length L and pipes of length L, 2L, L/2 and L/2 in options (A), (B), (C) and (D) respectively. The string’s tension is adjusted until the speed of waves on the string equals the speed of sound waves in the air. The fundamental mode of oscillation is then set up on the string. In which pipe will the sound produced by the string cause resonance ?
The correct answer is:
