A tuning fork resonates with a sonometer wire of length \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) stretched with a tension of \(6 \mathrm{~N}\). When the tension in the wire is changed to \(54 \mathrm{~N}\), the same tuning fork produces \(12\) beats per second with it. The frequency of the tuning fork is _______ \(\mathrm{Hz}\).

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{f}=\frac{1}{2 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\) \(\mathrm{f}_1=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{6}{\mu}} \mathrm{f}_2=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{54}{\mu}}\) \(\frac{\mathrm{f}_1}{\mathrm{f}_2}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{f}_2-\mathrm{f}_1=12\) \(\mathrm{f}_1=6 \mathrm{HZ}\)
