A tuning fork A of frequency 200 Hz is sounded with fork B, the number of beats per second is 5. By putting some wax on A, the number of beats increases to 8. The frequency of fork B is

a
200 Hz
b
195 Hz
c
192 Hz
d
205 Hz

detailed solution

Correct option is D

nA↓ – nB = x↑         ... (i)        →       WrongnB  – nA↓ = x↑        ... (ii)       →       Correct ⇒ nB = nA + x = 200 + 5 = 205 Hz.

A metal wire of diameter 1.5 mm is held on two knife edges separated by a distance 50 cm the tension in the wire is 100 N the wire vibrating with its fundamental frequency and vibrating tuning fork together produces 5 beats per second. The tension in the wire is then reduced to 81 N, when the two are excited, beats are heard at the same rate. Calculate frequency of the fork.
