The linear density of a vibrating string is 1.3×10-1 kg m-1. In this string, a transverse wave is propagating whose equation is y=0.021 sinx+30t, where x and y are measured in meter and t in second. The approximate tension in the string is :

When two tuning forks A and B vibrate simultaneously, they produce 4 beats per second. When these are made in unison with a sonometer having a fixed tension, the length of the wire are respectively 128 cm and 130 cm. The frequency of the tuning fork A is :

A tuning-fork vibrating with a sonometer wire of length 20 cm produces 5 beats per second. The beat frequency does not change if the length of the wire is changed to 21 cm. The frequency of the tuning-fork (in hertz) must be :

A tuning fork of frequency 480 hertz vibrating with a sonometer wire produces 10 beats per sec. If on lightening the wire the number of beats per second decreases, then the frequency of the wire will be :

Select all the correct alternatives. Two identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce 6 beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension slightly in one of them, the beat-frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by T1, T2 the higher and the lower initial tensions in the strings, then it could be said that while making the above changes in tension.
