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 :

A horizontal stretched string fixed at two ends, is vibrating in its fifth harmonic according to the equation yx,t=0.01 m sin62.8 m-1x cos628 s-1t. Assuming π=3.14, the correct statement is (are)

A sonometer wire, loaded by a mass of 9 kg, resonates with a given tuning fork and five antinodes are observed in the stationary waves formed between the two bridges. When a mass M replaces the 9 kg mass, then with the same tuning fork and in the same positions of the bridges, three antinodes are observed. The mass M is :

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited, along with a tuning fork of frequency n. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased, the number of beats reduces to 2 per second.  Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m s-1 the frequency n of the tuning fork is Hz is :
