The frequencies of three tuning forks A, B and C have a relation n_(A)gt n_(B) gt n_(C) . When the forks A and B are sounded together the number of beats produced is n_(1) When A and C are sounded together the number of beats produced is n_(2) then the number of beats produced when B and C are sounded together is

Tuning fork A of frequency 258 Hz gives 8 beats with a tuning fork B. When the tuning fork A is filed and again A and B are sounded the number of beats heard decreases. The frequency of B is

Tuning fork A of frequency 258 Hz gives 8 beats with a tuning fork B. When fork B is filed and again A and B are sounded the number of beats heard remains same. The frequency of B is

A column of air at 51^(@)C and a tuning fork produce 4 beats per sec when sounded together. As the temperature of the air column is decreased, the number of beats per sec tends to decrease and when the temperature is 16^(@)C the two produce 1 beat per see. Find the frequency of the tuning fork.

A tuning fork of frequency 392 Hz, resonates with 50 cm length of a string under tension T. If the length of the string is decreased by 2% keeping the tension constant the number of beats heard when the string and the tuning fork are made to vibrate simultaneously is

An air column in tun=be 32cm long, closed at one end, is in resonace with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length 66cm is in resonance with another tuning frok.When those two tuning forks are sounded together , they produce 8 beats per second together, they produce 8 beats per second. then the frquencies of the twpo tuning forks are, (consider fundamental frequencies only)
