A tonometer consists of 16 forks, each fork produces 4 beats/s with the next. If the lowest frequency is 60 Hz, then highest frequency is

A

60 Hz

B

120 Hz

C

240 Hz

D

480 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`N = (n_(L) - n_(f))/(x) + 1`
`16 -1 = (n_(L) - 60)/(4)`
`60 = n_(L) - 60`
`n_(L) = 60 + 60 = 120 Hz`
