A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz makes 4 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per sec when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was:

A tuning fork of frequency 480 Hz is used to vibrate a sonometer wire having naturl frequency 410 Hz. The wire wil vibrate with frequency

A tuning fork of frequency 480Hz is used to vibrate a sonometer wire having natural frequency 240 Hz. The wire will vibrate with a frequency of

A tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz produces 4 beats per second with a wire of length 25 cm vibrating in its fundamental mode. The beat frequency decreases when the length is slightly shortened. What could be the minimum length by which the wire be shortened so that it produces no beats with the tuning fork ?

A tuning fork A frequency 384Hz gives 6 beats in 2 seconds when sounded with another tuning fork B. What could be the frequency of B?

A tuning fork produces 4 beats per second with another tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. The first one is now loaded with a little wax and the beat frequency is found to increase to 6 per second. What was the original frequency of the tuning fork ?

In an experiment with sonometer, a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz resonates with a length of 25 cm and another tuning fork resonates with a length of 16 cm. Tension of the string remaining constant, the frequency of the second tuning fork is –

A piano wire A vibrates at a fundamental frequency of 600 Hz. A second identical wire B produces 6 beats per second with it when the tension in A is slightly increased. Find the ratio of the tension in A to the tension in B.

When two tuning forks A and B are sounded together, 4 beats per second are heard.The frequency of the fork B is 384 Hz. When one of the prongs of the fork A is filled and sounded with B, the beat frequency increases, then the frequency of the fork A is:

A tuning fork of unknown frequency makes 5 beats per second with another tuning fork which can cause a closed organ pipe of length 40 cm to vibrate in its fundamental mode. The beat frequency decreases when the first tuning fork is slightly loaded with wax. Find its original frequency. The speed of sound in air is 320 ms^-1
