A veena player compares with a tuning fork the fundamental frequency generated by one of the strings of the veena and hears 4 beats/s. He then tightens the string a bit and hears only 3 beats/s. Then

A

the string has a higher frequency than the tuning fork and must be tightened more

B

the string has a lower (requency than the tuning fork and must be tightened more to make the frequencies equal

C

the string has a lower frequency and its tension has to be relaxed to make the frequencies equal.

D

the string has a higher frequency then the fork and has to be loosened for equality with fork.
