In a guitar, two strings AA and BB made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6Hz6Hz. When tension in BB is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to 7Hz7Hz. If the frequency of AA is 530Hz530Hz, the original frequency of BB will be:In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6Hz .

Options

  1. A524Hz524Hz
  2. B536Hz536Hz
  3. C537Hz537Hz
  4. D523Hz523Hz

Correct answer

A. 524Hz524Hz

Step-by-step solution

Guitar string i.e. string is fixed from both ends

In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6Hz .

Frequency ∝Tension∝ \sqrt{Tension}
If tension in BB slightly decrease then frequency of BB decrease.

If BB is 536Hz,536Hz, the beats produced will be 536−530536 - 530 as the frequency decreases, beats with AA also decreases.

If BB is 524Hz,524Hz, the beats produced will be 530−524530 - 524 as the frequency decreases, beats with AA increases.
∴∴ Original frequency of BB will be 524Hz524Hz.
