Two tuning forks A and B produce 4 beats...

Two tuning forks A and B produce 4 beats `//`sec. On loading B with wax, 6 beats `//` sec are heard. If quantity of wax is reduced, the number of beats per second again becomes 4.Find the frequency of B if the frequency of A is 256 Hz.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the tuning forks A and B and how their frequencies change with the addition and removal of wax. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Frequency of tuning fork A, \( f_A = 256 \, \text{Hz} \) - Beats produced when forks A and B are sounded together without wax: \( 4 \, \text{beats/sec} \) - Beats produced when fork B is loaded with wax: \( 6 \, \text{beats/sec} \) ...

Two tunig forks A and B produce 6 beats // sec. On loading A with wax number of beats remains unaltered. However, when a little of wax is removed, the number of beats becomes 2 in 2 seconds. Calculate original frequency of A if that of B is 256.

A tuning fork A of frequency 256 Hz when sounded with tuning fork B of unknown frequency produces 4 beats/s. When B is loaded with wax, 6 beats/s were heard. If some of the wax is reduced, the number of beats again reduces to 4 beats/s. Determine the initial frequency of B.

If two tuning forks A & B give 4 beats/sec. with each other, on loading A with wax , 2 beats/sec. are given. If frequency of A is 256 Hz, then frequency of B is-

Two tuning forks A and B produced 10 beats per second when sounded together. On slightly loading fork A with a little wax, it was observed that 15 beats are heard per second. If the frequency of fork B is 480 Hz, then the frequency of A before it was loaded would be
