A tuning fork whose frequency as given by manufacturer is 512 Hz is being tested with an accurate oscillator. It is found that the fork produces a beat of 2 Hz when oscillator reads 514 Hz but produces a beat of 6 Hz when oscillator reads 510 Hz. The actual frequency of the fork is :

(1) 508 Hz

(2) 512 Hz

(3) 516 Hz

(4) 518 Hz

When a tuning fork A of unknown frequency is sounded with another tuning fork B of frequency 256 Hz, then 3 beats per second are observed. After that A is loaded with wax and sounded, the again 3 beats per second are observed. The frequency of the tuning fork A is :

(1) 250 Hz

(2) 253 Hz

(3) 259 Hz

(4) 262 Hz

When two sound waves are superimposed, beats are produced when they have :

(1) Different amplitudes and phases

(2) Different velocities

(3) Different phases

(4) Different frequencies

A tuning fork A of frequency 200 Hz is sounded with fork B, the number of beats per second is 5. By putting some wax on A, the number of beats increases to 8. The frequency of fork B is :

(1) 200 Hz

(2) 195 Hz

(3) 192 Hz

(4) 205 Hz

Two tuning forks have frequencies 380 and 384 Hz respectively. When they are sounded together, they produce 4 beats. After hearing the maximum sound, how long will it take to hear the minimum sound?

(1) $\frac{1}{2}$sec

(2) $\frac{1}{4}$sec

(3) $\frac{1}{8}$sec

(4) $\frac{1}{16}$sec

A couple of tuning forks produces 2 beats in the time interval of 0.4 seconds. So the beat frequency is :

(1) 8 Hz

(2) 5 Hz

(3) 2 Hz

(4) 10 Hz

It is possible to hear beats from the two vibrating sources of frequency :

(1) 100 Hz and 150 Hz

(2) 20 Hz and 25 Hz

(3) 400 Hz and 500 Hz

(4) 1000 Hz and 1500 Hz

Two sound waves of wavelengths 5m and 6m formed 30 beats in 3 seconds. The velocity of sound is :

(1) 300 ms^–1

(2) 310 ms^–1

(3) 320 ms^–1

(4) 330 ms^–1

Two sound sources when sounded simultaneously produce four beats in 0.25 seconds. The difference in their frequencies must be :

(1) 4

(2) 8

(3) 16

(4) 1

Two strings X and Y of a sitar produce a beat frequency 4 Hz. When the tension of the string Y is slightly increased the beat frequency is found to be 2 Hz. If the frequency of X is 300 Hz, then the original frequency of Y was :

(1) 296 Hz

(2) 298 Hz

(3) 302 Hz

(4) 304 Hz
