When two tunning forks A and B, having frequencies 512 Hz and 212 Hz, respectively, are vibrated simultaneously, the pitch of sound produced

A

by 'A' will be more.

B

by 'B' will be more.

C

by A and B will be equal.

D

cannot be determined

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The frequency of vibration determines the shrillness or pitch of any sound. If the frequency of vibration is low, we say that the sound has low pitch. If the frequency of vibration is high, we say that the sound has a high pitch. In the given question turning fork A has more frequency, and hence, the pitch of sound produced by A will be more.
