Detailed Solution
Suppose nA = known frequency = 100 Hz, nB = ? x = 5 bps, which remains unchanged after loadingUnknown tuning fork is loaded so nB↓Hence nA – nB ↓ = x ... (i) nB ↓ – nA = x ... (ii) From equation (i), it is clear that as nB decreases, beat frequency. (i.e. nA – (nB)new) can never be x again.From equation (ii), as nB↓, beat frequency (i.e. (nB)new – nA) decreases as long as (nB)new remains greater than nA, If (nB)new become lesser than nA the beat frequency will increase again and will be x. Hence this is correct.So, nB = nA + x = 100 + 5 = 105 Hz.
