\(5\, beats/ second\) are heard when a turning fork is sounded with a sonometer wire under tension, when the length of the sonometer wire is either \(0.95\,m\) or \(1\,m\) . The frequency of the fork will be ... \(Hz\)

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(195\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Probable frequencies of tuning fork be \(n \pm5\)

Frequency of sonometer wire, \(n \propto \frac{1}{l}\)

\(\therefore \frac{n+5}{n-5}=\frac{100}{95} \Rightarrow 95(n+5)=100(n-5)\)

or, \(95 n+475=100 n-500\)

or, \(5 n=975\)

or, \(n=\frac{975}{5}=195 \mathrm{Hz}\)
