In a guitar, two stringsAandBmade of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency6 Hz. When tension inBis slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to7 Hz. If the frequency ofAis530 Hz, the original frequency ofBwill be:NEET 2020 (Phase 1)

Options:

Answer:
A
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.
