The frequencies of three tuning forks A, B and C are related as \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}\). Which the forks \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are sounded together, the number of beats produced per second is ' \(\mathrm{n}_1\) '. When forks \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) are sounded together the number of beats produced per second is ' \(\mathrm{n}_2\) '. How may beats are produced per second when forks B and \(\mathrm{C}\) are sounded together?

  1. A \(\mathrm{n}_1-\mathrm{n}_2\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2}{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{n}_1+\mathrm{n}_2\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}=\mathrm{n}_1
\)
\(
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{A}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{n}_2
\)
Subtracting Eq. (i) from eq. (ii)
\(
\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{B}}-\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{n}_2-\mathrm{n}_1
\)
