An open organ pipe of length $l$ is sounded together with another organ pipe of length $l + x$ in their fundamental tones $(x << l)$. The beat frequency heard will be (speed of sound is $v$):

  • A
    $\frac{vx}{4l^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{vl^2}{2x}$
  • C
    $\frac{vx}{2l^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{vx^2}{2l}$
