In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6   Hz . When tension in B is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to 7   Hz . If the frequency of A is 530   Hz , the original frequency of B will be:

Options

  1. A524   Hz
  2. B536   Hz
  3. C537   Hz
  4. D523   Hz

Correct answer

A. 524   Hz

Step-by-step solution

Guitar string i.e. string is fixed from both ends Frequency ∝   Tension If tension in B slightly decrease then frequency of B decrease. If B is 536   Hz , the beats produced will be 536 - 530 as the frequency decreases, beats with A also decreases. If B is 524   Hz , the beats produced will be 530 - 524 as the frequency decreases, beats with A increases. ∴ Original frequency of B will be 524   Hz .
