Given Number of forks=41 Number of beats=541 Tuning forks arranged in series in increasing order of frequency.Each fork gives ‘5’ beats with the preceeding one means, frequency of each fork is ‘5’ more than the preceeding one Hence 41 frequencies are in arithmetic progression with common difference is -5hz It is given that the frequency of last one f41 is double of first one f1 We know formula fn=f1+(n−1)d . fn=f41 fn=2f1 n=41 ,d=5 f41=2f1 2f1=f1+(41−1)5 f1=40×5 ∴f1=200Hz
