When two tuning fork are sounded together produce x beats/s. The fequency of A is `n_(A)`. The fork B is loaded with little wax then x-1 number of beats per second are produced, then the frequency of fork B before loading will be

A

`2n_(A)x`

B

`n_(A) + x`

C

`n_(A) + 2x`

D

`n_(A) - x`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`n_(B) = n_(A) +-x`
`n_(B) = n_(A) + x or n_(A) - x`
when `n_(B)` is loaded with little wax and sounded with `n_(A)`
`n_(B) = n_(A) +-x`
`n_(B) = n_(A) + x or n_(A) -x`
After loading frequency decreases, before loading frequency increases. Therefore frequency of tuning fork before loading is,
`n_(B) = n_(A) + x`
