A tuning fork \(A\) of unknown frequency produces \(5\, beats/s\) with a fork of known frequency \(340\, Hz\). When fork \(A\) is filed, the beat frequency decreases to \(2\, beats/s.\) What is the frequency of fork \(A\) ? (in \(Hz\))

  1. A \(340\)
  2. B \(342\)
  3. C \(335\)
  4. D \(337\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(335\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initially beat frequency \(=5 \,Hz\) so, \(\rho_{ A }=340 \pm 5=345\, Hz ,\) or \(335\, Hz\) after filing frequency increases slightly so, new value of frequency of \(A >\rho_{ A }\) Now, beat frequency \(=2\, Hz\) \(\Rightarrow\) new \(\rho_{ A }=340 \pm 2=342\, Hz ,\) or…
