A tuning forkAof unknown frequency produces5 beats s-1with a fork of known frequency340 Hz. When forkAis filed, the beat frequency decreases to2 beats s-1. What is the frequency of forkA?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Initially beat frequency =5 Hz

so, ρA=340±5=345 Hz, or 335 Hz 

after filing frequency increases slightly so, new value of frequency of A>ρA

Now, beat frequency =2 Hz

new ρA=340±2=342 Hz, or 338 Hz

hence, original frequency of A is ρA=335 Hz
