When a vibrating tuning fork is placed on a sound box of a sonometer, 8 beats per second are heard when the length of the sonometer wire is kept at \(101 \mathrm{~cm}\) or \(100 \mathrm{~cm}\). Then the frequency of the tuning fork is (Consider that the tension in the wire is kept constant)

  1. A \(1616 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  2. B \(1608 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  3. C \(1632 \mathrm{~Hz}\)
  4. D \(1600 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1608 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(n l=\) constant \(\begin{aligned} n_1 l_1 & =n_2 l_2 \\ (n+8) 100 & =(n-8) 101 \\ \frac{n+8}{n-8} & =\frac{101}{100} \\ \frac{n}{8} & =\frac{201}{1} \\ n & =1608\end{aligned}\)
