A source of sound gives 5 beats per second, when sounded with another source of frequency \(100 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\). The second harmonic of the source, together with a source of frequency \(205 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) gives 5 beats per second. What is frequency of the source?

  1. A \(95 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(105 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(100 \mathrm{~s}^{1}\)
  4. D \(205 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(105 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the frequency of the sound is \(f\). In first case, \(f=100 \pm 5\) \[ =105 \mathrm{~Hz} \text { or } 95 \mathrm{~Hz} \] The frequency of second harmonic \(=2 f\) According to second case.…
