Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $y_1 = 4 \sin(500 \pi t)$ and $y_2 = 2 \sin(506 \pi t)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear

  • A
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • B
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.
  • C
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • D
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.

$A$ tuning fork gives $5$ beats with another tuning fork of frequency $100\,Hz.$ When the first tuning fork is loaded with wax,the number of beats remains unchanged. What is the frequency of the first tuning fork in $Hz$?

If two waves of the same amplitude,having frequencies $340 \ Hz$ and $335 \ Hz$,are moving in the same direction,then the time interval between two successive maxima formed (in seconds) is:

Beats are produced by two waves $y_1 = a \sin(1000 \pi t)$ and $y_2 = a \sin(998 \pi t)$. The number of beats heard per second is

$A$ tuning fork of known frequency $256\,Hz$ produces $5$ beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to $2$ beats per second when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was

$50$ tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of their frequencies such that each gives $4 \, \text{beats/sec}$ with its previous tuning fork. If the frequency of the last fork is the octave of the first, then the frequency of the first tuning fork is ... $Hz$.
