$A$ prong of a vibrating tuning fork is in contact with the water surface. It produces concentric circular waves on the surface of the water. The distance between five consecutive crests is $0.8 \ m$ and the velocity of the wave on the water surface is $56 \ m/s$. The frequency of the tuning fork is: (in $Hz$)

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, \text{beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta$. Find the value of $\beta - \alpha$.

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ are sounded together and produce $4$ beats per second. The frequency of tuning fork $A$ is $320 \,Hz$. When tuning fork $B$ is loaded with wax,the number of beats per second remains $4$. What is the frequency of tuning fork $B$ in $Hz$?

Two identical stringed instruments have a frequency of $100 \ Hz$. If the tension in one of them is increased by $4\%$ and they are sounded together,then the number of beats produced in one second is:
