Two identical piano wires kept under the same tension \(T\) have a fundamental frequency of \(600~\text{Hz}\). The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to the occurrence of \(6\) beats/s when both the wires oscillate together would be:
1. \(0.02\) 2. \(0.03\)
3. \(0.04\)  4. \(0.01\)

Two identical wires are stretched by the same tension of \(100~\text{N}\) and each emits a note of \(200~\text{Hz}\). If tension in one wire is increased by \(1~\text{N}\), the number of beats heard per second when the wires are plucked will be:
1. \(2\) 2. \(1\)
3. \(3\) 4. \(4\)

Eleven tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency in such a way that any two consecutive tuning forks produce \(4\) beats per second. The highest frequency is twice that of the lowest. The highest and the lowest frequencies (in Hz) are, respectively:
1. \(100~\text{and}~50\) 2. \(44~\text{and}~22\)
3. \(80~\text{and}~40\) 4. \(72~\text{and}~30\)

A source of unknown frequency gives \(4\) beats/s when sounded with a source of known frequency of \(250~\text{Hz}\). The second harmonic of the source of unknown frequency gives five beats per second when sounded with a source of frequency of \(513~\text{Hz}\). The unknown frequency will be:

1. \(246~\text{Hz}\) 2. \(240~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(260~\text{Hz}\) 4. \(254~\text{Hz}\)

Each of the two strings of lengths \(51.6~\text{cm}\) and \(49.1~\text{cm}\) is tensioned separately by \(20~\text{N}\) of force. The mass per unit length of both strings is the same and equals \(1\) g/m. When both the strings vibrate simultaneously, the number of beats is:
1. \(5\) 2. \(7\)
3. \(8\) 4. \(3\)
