To find the unknown frequency of the tuning fork, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Beat Frequency The beat frequency is the absolute difference between the frequencies of two tuning forks. In this case, we have one tuning fork with a known frequency of 320 Hz and an unknown frequency \( F_1 \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations When the unknown tuning fork is sounded with the 320 Hz fork, it produces 4 beats per second. This can be expressed as: \[ ...
