Question
The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is 220 Hz. If 
of the pipe is filled with water, the frequency of the first overtone of the pipe now is
- 220 Hz
- 440 Hz
- 880 Hz
- 1760 Hz
The correct answer is: 880 Hz
Fundamental frequency of closed pipe
If of the pipe is filled with water then remaining length of air column is 
Now fundamental frequency = 
and
First overtone = 
fundamental frequency
= 
.
