A closed organ pipe has a fundamental frequency of1.5 kHz. The number of overtones that can be distinctly heard by a person with this organ pipe will be(Assume that the highest frequency a person can hear is20,000 Hz).

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

For a closed organ pipe, the resonate frequency(harmonics) is an odd multiple of the fundamental frequency.

Therefore, 2n-1f0≤20000 Hz, where n=1,2,3...

f0=1.5 kHz⇒ fundamental frequency

Then, n=7

The total number of overtones that can be heard is 6. (2nd harmonic to 7th harmonic. )
