AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying which frequencies will not resonate in a closed-end pipe with a fundamental frequency of 200Hz. The formula for the fundamental frequency is f_{1} = v/(4L), and subsequent resonant frequencies are calculated using f_{n} = (2n-1)f_{1}. Given the fundamental frequency, the resonant frequencies can be determined. Participants suggest starting with the textbook section on closed-end pipes for clarity. The key focus is on understanding the relationship between the pipe length and the resonant frequencies.

The lowest tone to resonate in a close-end pipe of length L is 200Hz. Which is of the following frequencies will not resonate in the pipe?

400Hz
600Hz
1000Hz
1400Hz

Anyone know where I should start on this?

I would start with the section in your text on pipes with closed ends.
 
This is simple, just remember for one end closed.

Fundamental Frequency:

f_{1} = \frac{v}{4l}

The rest of the frequencies will be given by

f_{n} = (2n-1)f_{1} ... n=1,2,3...
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
