An organ pipe is sounded with a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. When the air in the pipe is at a temperature of `15^@C`, 23 beats are heard in 10 sec. When the tuning fork is loaded with a small piece of wax, the beat frequency is found to decrease. What change of temperature of the air in the pipe is necessary to bring the pipe and the unloaded fork into unison?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the change in temperature required to bring the frequency of the organ pipe in unison with the tuning fork after it has been loaded with wax. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given information - The frequency of the tuning fork (f_tuning) is 256 Hz. - The temperature of the air in the pipe (T_initial) is 15°C. - The number of beats heard is 23 beats in 10 seconds. ### Step 2: Calculate the beat frequency ...
