Correct answer: A, D
- Resonance condition for a closed pipe
A pipe open at one end and closed at the other supports only odd harmonics:
where
is the fundamental frequency.
So resonance occurs if the frequency of sound reaching the pipe is one of:
- Apparent frequency heard at the pipe due to Doppler effect
The source is approaching the stationary pipe with speed . For a moving source approaching a stationary observer, the observed frequency is
We must check for each option whether equals an odd multiple of .
- Check each option
Option A: ,
Observed frequency:
Since is an odd harmonic of a closed pipe, resonance occurs.
✅ A is correct
Option B: ,
Observed frequency:
But is not an odd multiple of . So resonance does not occur.
❌ B is incorrect
Option C: ,
Observed frequency:
Now,
which is not of the form . Hence no resonance.
❌ C is incorrect
Option D: ,
Observed frequency:
Since is an odd harmonic, resonance occurs.
✅ D is correct
- Final result
The combinations that produce resonance are:
This matches the stored correct answer.
