Two tunig forks of frequency `250Hz` and `256Hz` produce beats. If a maximum is observed just now, after how much time the next maximum is observed at the same place?

A

`(1)/(18) s`

B

`(1)/(6) s`

C

`(1)/(12) s`

D

`(1)/(24) s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Beat frequency , `Delta f = 6 Hz`
Time interval between two consecutive maxima is `1//6 s`. So , the required time `1//2 s`.
