Sound waves are passing through two routes-one is straight and the other along a semicircular path of radius r and again combined into one pipe and superimposed as shown in the figure. If the velocity of sound waves in the pipe is v, then the frequencies of resultant waves of maximum amplitude will be integral multiples of
