When two tuning forks ( fork 1 and fork 2 ) are sounded simultaneously, 4 beats per second are heard. Now, some tape is attached on the prong of the fork 2. When the tuning forks are sounded again, 6 beats per second are heard. if the frequency of fork 1 is 200 Hz, then what was the original frequency of fork 2?
196 Hz
204 Hz
200 Hz
202 Hz
As we learnt in
Property of stationary waves -
1) Disturbance do not move in any direction.
2) All particles except nodes perform S.H.M.
3) During the formation of a stationary wave the medium is broken into equally spaced loops
4) Amplitude of the particle is different at different point
-
Let the two frequencies and . may be either 204 Hz or 196 Hz.
As mass of second fork increases, decreases. If a decrease in decreases beats/sec. But this is not given in question If a decrease in increased beats/sec.
This is given in the question when beats increase to 6
Original frequency of second fork =196 Hz
Correct option is 1.
Option 1)
196 Hz
This is the correct option.
Option 2)
204 Hz
This is an incorrect option.
Option 3)
200 Hz
This is an incorrect option.
Option 4)
202 Hz
This is an incorrect option.
