A cylindrical tube, open at both ends, has a fundamental frequency, f, in the air. The tube is dipped vertically in water so that half of it is in water. The fundamental frequency of the air-column is now

  • m1r1:m2r2

  • m1 :m2

  • r1 :r2

  • 1:1

Solution

C.

r1 :r2

As their period of revolution is same, so its angular speed is also same. Centripetal acceleration is circular path,
a= ω2r
Thus, 
straight a subscript 1 over straight a subscript 2 space equals space fraction numerator straight omega squared straight r subscript 1 over denominator straight omega squared straight r subscript 2 end fraction space equals space straight r subscript 1 over straight r subscript 2
