As in case of vibrations of string under specific tension, we know that frequency  n(1/L)  or  n=(K/L). As forks A and B are in unison (equal frequencies) with 30 cm and 25 cm l ength of a given sonometer wire respectively. If nA and nB  be the frequencies of the two  tuning forks, we have,
nA=K30   and     nB=K25  
  Or              nAnB=2530                       …..(6.248)
   Further as the forks A and B produce 4 beats when sounded together,
                   nA~nB=4
  But from equation-(6.248) it is clear that nA<nB
    Thus we have                  nBnA=4     ….(6.249)
   Solving equation-(6.248) and (6.249) for nA  and nB , we get
       nA=20Hz      and       nB=24Hz
