Reflection of Sound in an open pipe

When a high pressure pulse of air traveling down an open pipe reaches the other end, its
momentum drags the air out into the open, where pressure falls rapidly to the atmospheric
pressure. As a result the air following after it in the tube is pushed out. The low pressure at the
end of the tube draws air from further up the tube. The air gets drawn towards the open end
forcing the low pressure region to move upwards. As a result a pulse of high pressure air traveling
down the tube turns into a pulse of low pressure air traveling up the tube. We say a pressure wave
has been reflected at the open end with a change in phase 180°. Standing waves in an open pipe
organ like the flute is a result of this phenomenon.

Passage– (Q. No. 35 to 36)
When a particle is restricted to move along x–axis between x = 0 and x = a, where a is of
manometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of
the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves
with nodes at its ends x = 0 and x = a. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the
linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle
of mass m is related to its linear momentum as E = p2/2m. Thus, the energy of the particle can be
denoted by a quantum number 'n' taking values 1, 2, 3, .... (n = 1, called the ground state)
corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave. Use the model described above to
answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line x = 0 to x = a. Taken
h = 6.6 × 10–34 Js and e = 1.6 × 10–19 C.

ground state is closest to :
(A) 0.8 meV (B) 8 meV (C) 80 meV (D) 800 meV
37. The speed of the particle that can take discrete values is proportional to :
(A) n 3 / 2 (B) n 1 (C) n n 1/ 2 D) n
