Q.
In a pipe open at both ends, ‘n1​’ and ‘n2​’ be the frequencies corresponding to vibrating lengths ‘l1​’ and ‘l2​’ respectively. The end correction is
The frequency of the pth mode of vibration in an open organ pipe, v=2(L+2e)pv​
Where, e is the end correction of one side and L is the length of the pipe
Given : For L=l1​, frequency of pth mode =n1​
For L=l2​, frequency of pth mode =n2​ ⇒n1​=2(l1​+2e)pv​…(1) ⇒n2​=2(l2​+2e)pv​…(2)
Dividing (1) and (2), we get n2​n1​​=2(l1​+2e)pv​×pv2(l2​+2e)​ ∴n2​n1​​=l1​+2el2​+2e​ ⇒e=2(n1​−n2​)n2​l2​−n1​l1​​
