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
510 Hz
514 Hz
516 Hz
508 Hz
As discussed in
Beat -
A phenomena resuits when two sound wave having equal amplitude and travelling in a medium in the same direction but having slightly different frequency.
-
Frequency of the Piano string = 5124 = 516 or 508 when the tension is increased. Send frequency decreases to 2. It means that frequency of string is 508.
