The string AB vibrates in two loops with a tuning fork when block hasngs in air. Now block is completely immersed in water, the string vibrates in three loops with same tuning fork. The specific gravity of block is :

At the poles, a stretched wire of a certain length vibrates in unison with a tuning fork of given frequency. Then at the equator, for the same setting, for producing resonance with the same tuning fork, the vibrating length of the wire

Two tuning forks having frequency 256 Hz (A) and 262 Hz (B) tuning fork. A produces some beats per second with unknown tuning fork, same unknown tuning fork produce double beats per second from B tuning fork then the frequency of unknown tuning fork is :-

A column of air at 51^(@) C and a tuning fork produce 4 beats per second when sounded together. As the temperature of the air column is decreased, the number of beats per second tends to decrease and when the temperature is 16^(@) C the two produce 1 beat per second. Find the frequency of the tuning fork.

A tuning fork having n = 300 Hz produces 5 beats/s with another tuning fork. If impurity (wax) is added on the arm of known tuning fork, the number of beats decreases then calculate the frequency of unknown tuning fork.

When a little wax is put on the prongs of a tuning fork, then the frequency of vibration of a tuning fork will

A tuning fork vibrating with a sonometer having 20 cm wire produces 5 beats per second. The beat frequency does not change if the length of the wire is changed to 21 cm. The frequency of the tuning fork (in Hertz) must be
