Questions  

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by Y1=4 sin 500πt  and  Y2=2 sin 506πt. Number of beats produced per minute is 

a
360
b
180
c
3
d
60

detailed solution

Correct option is B

From the given equations of progressive waves ω1=500π  and  ω2=506π   ∴ n1=250  and  n2=253  So beat frequency=n2−n1=253−250=3 beats per sec  ∴ Number of beats per min = 180.

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.
