Wave Mechanics Question 892
Two tuning forks A and B vibrating simultaneously produce 5 beats. Frequency of B is 512. It is seen that if one arm of A is filed, then the number of beats increases. Frequency of A will be 517 Hz or 507 Hz

517
522
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
After filling frequency increases, so $ n _{A} $ decreases (¯). Also it is given that beat frequency increases (i.e., x ) Hence nA¯ ? nB = x … (i) Correct nB ? nA = x … (ii) Wrong
Therefore nA = nB + x = 512 + 5 = 517 Hz.
