Two idential straight wires are stretched so as to produce `6` beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by `T_(1)`, `T_(2)` the higher and the lower initial tension in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above changes in tension,

A

`T_(2)` was decreased

B

`T_(2)` was increased

C

`T_(1)` was incrased

D

`T_(1)` was kept constant

Wire having tension 225 N produces six beats per second when it is tuned with a fork. When tension changes to 256 N, it is tuned with the same fork, the number of beats remain unchanged. The frequency of the fork will be

Two strings X and Y of a sitar produce a beat frequency 4 Hz.When the tension of the string Y is slightly increased the beat frequency is found to be 2 Hz. If the frequency of X is 300 Hz,then the original frequency of Y was

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

Two identical wires have the same fundamental frequency of 400 Hz . when kept under the same tension. If the tension in one wire is increased by 2% the number of beats produced will be

Two tuning forks produces 5 beats per second when sounded together.One of them is in unison with a wire 90 cm long subjrcted to a certain tension , while the other is in unison with a length of 91 cm of the same wire under same tension. Determine the frequencies of the forks.

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n . Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m//s , the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is

Two identical piano wires have fundemental frequency of 600 Hz , when kept under the same tension. What fractional increase in the tension of one wire will lead to the occurrence of six beats per second when both wires vibrate simuitaneously?

A metal wire of diameter 1 mm is held on two knife edges separated by a distance of 50 cm. The tension in the wire is 100 N. The wire vibrates with its fundamental frequency and a vibrating tuning fork together produce 5 beat/s . The tension in the wire is then reduced to 81 N. When the two are excited , beats are heard at the same rate, then the frequency of the fork will be

A length of sonometer wire under constant tension when sounded with a tuning fork of higher frequency 271 Hz produced 5 beats per second. If the length of the wire is reduced by 5%, find the new frequency of the wire.
