In a guitar, two strings \(A\) and \(B\) made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency \(6~\text{Hz}\). When tension in \(B\) is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to \(7~\text{Hz}\).  If the frequency of \(A\) is \(530~\text{Hz}\), the original frequency of \(B\) will be:

1.	\(524~\text{Hz}\)	2.	\(536~\text{Hz}\)
3.	\(537~\text{Hz}\)	4.	\(523~\text{Hz}\)

A string with a mass \(2.50~\text{kg}\) is under a tension of \(200~\text{N}\). The length of the stretched string is \(20.0~\text{m}\). If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string, how long does it take for the disturbance to reach the other end?

A transverse harmonic wave on a string is described by, \(y(x,t) = 3.0 ~\sin ( 36t + 0.018x + {\dfrac {\pi} 4})\) where \(x\) and \(y\) are in cm and \(t\) in sec. The positive direction of \(x\) is from left to right. What is the shortest distance between two successive crests in the wave?
