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
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
In a closed tube, the fundamental note occurs when the length of the tube l = \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\),
the first overtone occurs when the length of the tube l = \(\frac{3 \lambda}{4}\)
\lambda = \(\frac{4l}{3}\) = \(\frac{ 4 \times 33}{3}\) = 44 cm
