Questions  

Two tuning forks, A and B, give 4 beats per second when sounded together. The frequency of A is 320 Hz. When some wax is added to B and it is sounded with A, 4 beats per second are again heard. The frequency of B is

a
312 Hz
b
316 Hz
c
324 Hz
d
328 Hz

detailed solution

Correct option is C

nA – nB↓ = x (same)          ... (i)        →       WrongnB↓  – nA = x (same)         ... (ii)       →       Correct⇒ nB = nA + x = 320 + 4 = 324 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.
