A tuning fork of known frequency 256 Hz makes 5 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per second when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz makes 4 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per sec. when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was

Tuning fork A has frequency 256 Hz. It produces 4 beats per second with fork B. When the prongs of fork B are rubbed little, it produces 2 beats per second with A. Find out frequencies of foek B, before and after rubbing its prongs.

A tuning fork having n = 300 Hz produces 5 beats/s with another tuning fork. If impurity (wax) is added on the arm of known tuning fork, the number of beats decreases then calculate the frequency of unknown tuning fork.

When a guitar string is sounded with a 440 Hz tuning fork, a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard. If the experiment is repeated with a tuning fork of 437 Hz, the beat frequency is 8 Hz. The string frequency (Hz) is ....

When tuning forks A and B are sounded together, 20 beats are produced in 8 second between them. (i.e. beat frequency is (20)/(8) =2.5 Hz). Now, when some wax is applied on one of these tuning forks, 32 beats are produced in 8 s. If frequency of that fork on which wax is not applied is 512 Hz then find frequency of another tuning fork, before and after applying wax.

Length of a sonometer wire is either 95 cm or 100 cm. In both the cases a tuning fork produces 4 beats then the frequency of tuning fork is :-
