Two tuning forks have frequencies 380 and 384 Hz respectively. When they are sounded together they
produce 4 beats. After hearing the maximum sound how long will it take to hear the minimum sound

A

`(1)/(2)s`

B

`(1)/(4)s`

C

`(1)/(8)s`

D

`(1)/(16)s`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Time for one beat `= (1)/(4) s`
Time between maximum and minimum is
`= ((1//4))/(2) = (1)/(8) s`
