JEE Advanced 2021 — Paper 2 — Question 2
A source, approaching with speed towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length , is emitting a sound of frequency .
The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is and is the fundamental frequency of the pipe.
For which of the following combination(s) of and , will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?
- Option A:Correct
and
- Option B:
and
- Option C:
and
- Option D:Correct
and
Answer: A, D
Step-by-step solution
Natural frequency of closed pipe
is fundamental frequency ,
frequency of source received by pipe
L For resonance
If
for pipe can be in resonance Hence, option (A) is correct. If
If
Not possible If
for pipe can be in resonance Hence, option (D) is correct.
