The number of quantization frequency of stationary wave in pipe when its one end is closed is:
Correct answer: D. Odd number
- A. Whole number
- B. Natural number
- C. Even number
- D. Odd number
Explanation
(A) Option A: Whole number. This option states that the quantization frequency of a stationary wave in a pipe with one end closed is a whole number. However, this is not correct. The quantization frequencies in this case are not necessarily whole numbers.(B) Option B: Natural number. This option states that the quantization frequency of a stationary wave in a pipe with one end closed is a natural number. This is also not correct. The quantization frequencies can include both natural numbers and non-natural numbers.(C) Option C: Even number. This option states that the quantization frequency of a stationary wave in a pipe with one end closed is an even number. This is not correct. The quantization frequencies in this case are not limited to even numbers.(D) Option D: Odd number. This is the correct answer! The quantization frequencies of a stationary wave in a pipe with one end closed are odd numbers. This means that the frequencies can be 1, 3, 5, and so on.

About Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy through oscillations, with wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed related by v = fλ; sound speed depends on the medium. Superposition produces interference and stationary waves in strings and organ pipes, while simple harmonic motion describes the oscillation itself and must be distinguished from wave propagation.
