The wavelength of the first overtone of a note in a closed pipe of length 33 cm is?
  • A.
    33 cm
  • B.
    44 cm
  • C.
    22 cm
  • D.
    17 cm
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

In a closed tube, the fundamental note occurs when the length of the tube l = (λ)/4,
the first over tone occurs when the length of the tube l = (3)/4λ.
λ = (4)/3 l = (4)/3 x (33)/T = 44 cm
