OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

An organ pipe of length 80 cm is opened at x=0 and closed at x=80 cm. Speed of sound in the air column is 320 m/s.If standing waves are generated in the closed organ pipe,then the correct equation of standing waves is are ( here s=longitudinal displacement , P_ex=pressure excess)(Neglect the end correction)

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

is it correct ? \[\large \bf P_{ex}=A \sin(\frac{25 \pi}{8}x)\cos(1000\pi t)\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Michele_Laino and @samigupta8

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

U asked same doubt @mayankdevnani N yep obviously dat is d ans

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yep, but i think it is incorrect

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So what r u getting ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

\[\large \bf P_{ex}=Acos(\frac{25 \pi}{8}x)\sin(1000 \pi t)\] this what i get

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Option me hi ni h naa shayd

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

yep :(

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Michele_Laino @IrishBoy123 @Vincent-Lyon.Fr

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

\( P(x,t)=A \sin(\dfrac{25 \pi}{8}x)\cos(1000\pi t)\) is correct for the harmonic no 5. You need a sine function since the pipe is open at x=0 (acoustic pressure is zero). Using a cosine would produce a maximum amplitude for pressure at x=0, caracteristic of a closed end.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

pipe is open at x=0,then P(x,t)=0

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr can we say that both the terms can also be of sine function . In dis way ur argument wud also hold true...Is it necessary that one has to be cos n other a sine function....

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

If we consider the fundamental frequency, or fundamental wavelength, which is four times the length \(L\) of the pipe, then the excess of pressure \(\Delta p\), is given by the subsequent formula: \[\Large \Delta p = - \rho v_S^2\frac{{\partial s}}{{\partial x}}\] where \(v_S\) is the sound speed in the air, \(\rho\) is the density of air, furthermore, we have: \[\Large s\left( x \right) = A\sin \left\{ {2\pi \left( {\frac{{{v_S}}}{{4L}}t - \frac{x}{{4L}}} \right)} \right\}\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but standing wave superposition for pressure variation is in the form:- \[\large \bf \triangle P=\triangle P_0(\cos kx)(\sin \omega t)\]

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

but answer is in the form of :- \[\large \bf \triangle P_0= \triangle P_0(\sin kx)(\cos \omega t)\] How?

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Exactly @Michele_laino so v have equation of pressure variation as Po cos(wt-kx)....n when want to find stationary wave den one eq. Is dis n other wud be Po cos(wt+kx) for the wave travelling in opposite direction n we find superposition of the two then we will be having both terms in cos functions....

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Whether you have a cos or a sine for the \(\omega t\) part is irrelevant. You can have \(\cos (\omega t+\phi)\) with ANY value of \(\phi\) you want. They are all solutions for your problem.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

okay.What about `kx` ? coskx or sinkx ?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

I already answered that question : - only sinkx is ok if x=0 is an open end (no acoustic pressure there, maximum velocity) - only coskx is ok if x=0 is an closed end (no velocity there, maximum acoustic pressure)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! We have to find the resulting stationary wave by means of the superposition principle first @samigupta8

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Thanks....@Michele_Laino u cleared my doubt....

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the pressure variation is the effect and the stationary waves are the cause

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

So they can be in any form sine or cos....v don't have to give a damn to DAT thing...

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the form can be sin.. or cos.. since both type of solution type obey to the oscillatory motion. Furthermore we can get a sin.. solution starting from the cos.. form, depending on the initial conditions

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Yeah...correct BT der is no other option DAT can stand for match vid harmonic frequencies ....so DAT also rules out d case

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! More precisely we can say that sin.. or cos.. represent the same \(physical\) behaviour

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Yep....

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Michele_Laino and @Vincent-Lyon.Fr is my answer correct also ?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Which one, please?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

This one

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

No, the cosine is wrong since the question states that x=0 is an open end.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

if we replace it by displacement, then is it true?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i think it would be,right ?

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

@Vincent-Lyon.Fr

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Yes, it would be true for velocity or for displacement, but the amplitude A would be a velocity or a displacement respectively.

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

i got it now ! thank you
