Sagot :

Answer:

Option (a), (d) are correct.

Explanation:

Frequency, f = 220 Hz

Resonant frequency = 660 Hz

The next frequency of stopped organ pipe is

2f, 3 f, 4 f ....

= 2 x 220 , 3 x 220 , 4 x 220 ....

= 440 Hz, 660 Hz, 880 Hz

So, the option (a) is correct.

The next resonant frequency of open organ pipe is

3 f, 5 f,...

= 3 x 220, 5 x 220 , ..

= 660 Hz, 1100 Hz,...

So, option (d) is correct.
