15.A closed organ pipe has length L.The air in it is vibrating in 3rd overtone with a maximum amplitude of A.Find the amplitude at a distance of L/14 from closed end of the pipe ---------

From theory of standing waves we have y=Acos2πxλsin2πvtλAmplitude at x=L14 is given bya=Acos2πλL14=AcosπλL7Again we have λ=vfa=AcosπfvL71.For closed organ pipe, (open at one end and closed at the other) the permissible modes of vibration is given by f=(2n1)v4LFor third overtone n = 4f=7v4Lby eqn. 1a=AcosπvL7(7v4L)=Acosπ4=>a=A2
