A tuning fork produces 4 beats`//`s when sounded with a fork of frequency 512 Hz. The same tuning fork. When sounded with another fork of frequency 514 Hz produces 6 beats `//` second. Find the unknown frequency of the fork.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the unknown frequency be v.
`:. v=512+-4=516 or 508 Hz`
Also,` v=514+-6=520 or 508 Hz.`
As common frequency is 508 Hz. This must be the unknown frequency.
