An organ pipe, closed at one end, has fundamental frequency of 1500 Hz. The maximum number of overtones generated by this pipe, which a normal person can hear, is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
A normal person can hear a frequency 20 Hz to 20,000
Hz. So, fundamental frequency
