Two tuning forks A and B , produce notes of frequencies 258 ~Hz and 262 ~Hz . An unknown note sounded with A produces certain beats. When the same note is sounded with B , the beat frequency gets doubled. The unknown frequency is
Options
- A250 ~Hz
- B252 ~Hz
- C254 ~Hz
- D256 ~Hz
Correct answer
C. 254 ~Hz
Step-by-step solution
Given, n_ A =258 ~Hz , n_ B =262 ~Hz If it produces x beats with 258 and 2 x with 262 . aligned 262-(258-x) &=2 x 262-258+x &=2 x x &=4 n &=254 ~Hz aligned
