The ends of the prongs of a tunning forks originally in unison with a fork B of frequency 512 are filled, and the forks produce 5 beat/s when sounded together. What is the pitch of A after filling ?

512 Hz

517 Hz

507 Hz

514.5 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

`n_(A) = n_(B)`
The prongs of the fork A is filed with the fork B produces 5 beats/second
`n_(A) = n_(B) +- 5`
`= 512 +- 5`
`=517 or 507 Hz`
After filling frequency increases,
`:. n_(A) = 517Hz`
