As we have learnt in

 

The frequency in closed organ pipe -

\nu = \left ( 2n+1 \right )\frac{V}{4l}

n= 0,1,2,3...............
 

- wherein

V= velocity of sound wave

l= length of pipe

n= number of overtones

 

 The figure shows variation of displacement of particles in a closed organ pipe for 3rd overtone.

For third overtone l=\frac{7\lambda }{4}\; or\; \lambda =\frac{4l}{7}\; or\; \frac{\lambda }{4}=\frac{l}{7}

               

Hence the amplitude at P at a distance  \frac{l}{7} from closed end is ‘a’ because there is an antinode at that point

Alternate

            Because there is node at x = 0 the displacement amplitude as function of x can be written as

A=a \; sin\; kx=a\; sin\; \frac{2\pi }{\lambda }X

For  third overtone  l=\frac{7\lambda }{4}\; or\; \lambda =\frac{4l}{7}

\therefore A=a\; sin\; \frac{7\pi }{2l}\; \frac{l}{7}=a\;\; sin\; \frac{\pi }{2}=a                          at x=\frac{l}{7}\Rightarrow A=a
