When two tuning forks (fork 1 and fork 2...

When two tuning forks (fork `1` and fork `2`) are sounded simultaneously, `4` beats per second are heard. Now some tape is attached on the prong of the fork `2`. When the tuning fork are sounded again, `6` beats per second are heard. If the frequency of fork `1` is `200 Hz`, then what was the original frequency of fork `2` ?

A

`200 Hz`

B

`202 Hz`

C

`196 Hz`

D

`204 Hz`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The frequency of fork `2` is `= 200 +- 4 = 196` or `204 Hz`
Since, on attaching the tape the prong of fork `2`, its frequency decrease, but now the number of beats per second, is `6` i.e., the frequency difference now increases. It is possible only when before attaching the tape, the frequency of fork `2` is less thanthe frequency of tunin fork `1`. Hence, the frequency of fork `2 = 196 Hz`.
