When two tuning forks (fork `1` and fork `2` ) are sounded simultaneously, `4` beats per second are heard. Now, some tape is attached on the prong of the fork `2`. When the tuning forks are sounded again, `6` beats per second are heard. If the frequency of fork `1` is `200 Hz`, then what was the original frequency of fork `2` ?

A

200 Hz

B

202 Hz

C

196 Hz

D

204 Hz

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If the frequency of fork 1 is 200 Hz then probable frequencies of fork 2 is either 196 Hz or 204 Hz. As on attaching some tape on fork 2, be at frequency increases, this is possible only if the frequency of fork 2 is 196 Hz.

16 tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency. Any two consecutive tuning forks when sounded together produce 8 beats per second. If the frequency of last tuning fork is twice that of first, the frequency of first tuning fork is :-

Frequency of tuning fork A is 256 Hz. It produces 4 beats/second with tuning fork B. When wax is applied at tuning fork B then 6 beats/second are heard. Frequency of B 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.

When prongs of a tuning fork are rubbed, its frequency decreases.
