Problem

Two open organ pipes of lengths 0.85 m0.85\,\text{m} and 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m} are sounded together before a stationary listener. The shorter pipe is then moved directly away from the listener with speed uu. The beats disappear and the two notes are heard in unison. Determine uu. (Speed of sound in air =340 m s−1=340\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}.) a) 10.6 m s−110.6\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} b) 20.0 m s−120.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} c) 21.3 m s−121.3\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} d) 34.0 m s−134.0\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
