Important Questions on Beats

EASY
IMPORTANT

After loading the prongs of A with some wax and then sounding it with B, 4 beats are produced per second. What is the frequency of the tuning fork A? Given: On sounding tuning fork A with another tuning fork B of frequency 384 Hz, 6 beats are produced per second.

 

EASY
IMPORTANT

What is the frequency of the tuning fork in Hz? If an accurate and reliable audio oscillator is used to standardise a tuning fork. When the oscillator reading is 514 Hz, two beats are heard per second. When the oscillator reading is 510 Hz, the beat frequency is 6 Hz.

EASY
IMPORTANT

If two tuning forks A B give 4 beats sec-1 with each other, on loading A with wax, 2 beats sec-1 are given. If frequency of A is 256 Hz, then frequency of B is
