Two tuning forks A and B produce 4 beat...

Two tuning forks `A and B` produce ` 4 beats//s` when sounded together . `A` resonates to `32.4 cm` of stretched wire and `B` is in resonance with `32 cm` of the same wire . Determine the frequencies of the two tuning forks .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the frequencies of two tuning forks A and B based on the information provided about their resonance lengths and the number of beats produced when they are sounded together. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Frequency and Length**: The frequency of a tuning fork is inversely proportional to the length of the wire it resonates with. This means: \[ f \propto \frac{1}{L} ...
