(B) The frequency of a vibrating wire is given by $n = \frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}$.Since the wires are identical,$l$ and $m$ are constant,so $n \propto \sqrt{T}$.Let the initial frequencies be $n_1$ and $n_2$ corresponding to tensions $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively,where $T_1 > T_2$,which implies $n_1 > n_2$.The beat frequency is $n_1 - n_2 = 6$.If the beat frequency remains $6$ after changing the tension,the new frequencies $n_1'$ and $n_2'$ must satisfy $|n_1' - n_2'| = 6$.Case $(i)$: If $n_1$ remains constant,$n_2$ must increase to $n_2'$ such that $n_1 - n_2' = 6$ is not possible unless $n_2$ increases past $n_1$. However,if $n_2$ increases to a value $n_2'$ such that $n_2' - n_1 = 6$,the beat frequency is still $6$. This requires increasing $T_2$.Case $(ii)$: If $n_2$ remains constant,$n_1$ must decrease to $n_1'$ such that $n_1' - n_2 = 6$ (not possible as $n_1 > n_1'$) or $n_2 - n_1' = 6$ (not possible as $n_2 Thus,the only valid physical change to maintain $6$ beats per second while changing one tension is increasing the lower tension $T_2$ such that the new frequency $n_2'$ exceeds $n_1$ by $6$ Hz.

$A$ wire having tension $225 \ N$ produces six beats per second when it vibrates with a tuning fork. When the tension changes to $256 \ N$,it vibrates with the same fork,and the number of beats per second remains unchanged. The frequency of the fork is: (in $Hz$)

$A$ sound wave travels with a velocity of $300 \, m \, s^{-1}$ through a gas. $9$ beats are produced in $3 \, s$ when two waves pass through it simultaneously. If one of the waves has a wavelength of $2 \, m$, the wavelength of the other wave is ..... $m$.

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $Y_1 = 4\sin(500\pi t)$ and $Y_2 = 2\sin(506\pi t)$. The number of beats produced per minute is:

Two identical wires are vibrating in unison. If the tension in one of the wires is increased by $2 \%$,five beats are produced per second by the two vibrating wires. The initial frequency of each wire is $(\sqrt{1.02} \approx 1.01)$. (in $Hz$)

The wavelengths of two sound notes in air are $\frac{40}{195} \,m$ and $\frac{40}{193} \,m$. Each note produces $9$ beats per second separately with a third note of fixed frequency. The velocity of sound in air in $m/s$ is
