When a tuning fork is excited, molecules...

When a tuning fork is excited, molecules of air vibrate in accordance with the equation `X=Acos(512pit)`. When this tuning fork and another identical tuning fork loaded with a little wax are excited together, 4 beats are heard. What is the frequency of the second fork loaded with wax.

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the equation of motion The equation given is \( X = A \cos(512 \pi t) \). This represents the displacement of air molecules due to the vibration of the tuning fork. ### Step 2: Determine the angular frequency From the equation, we can see that the angular frequency \( \omega \) is \( 512 \pi \). ...
