    An open organ pipe of length L vibrates in its fundamental mode. The pressure variation is maximum
    (a) at the two ends
    (b) at the middle of the pipe
    (c) at distance L/4 inside the ends
    (d) at distances L/8 inside the ends.
    digAnsr:   b
    Ans : (b) at the middle of the pipe

    For an open organ pipe in fundamental mode, an anti-node is formed at the middle, where the amplitude of the wave is maximum. Hence, the pressure variation is also maximum at the middle.
