Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce $8 \, Hz$ beats per second when sounded together. $A$ gas column $37.5 \, cm$ long in a pipe closed at one end resonates in its fundamental mode with fork $A$,whereas a column of length $38.5 \, cm$ of the same gas in a similar pipe is required for resonance with fork $B$. The frequencies of these two tuning forks are:

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $y_1 = 4 \sin(500 \pi t)$ and $y_2 = 2 \sin(506 \pi t)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear

$A$ tuning fork and an air column whose temperature is $51^{\circ} C$ produce $4$ beats in one second,when sounded together. When the temperature of the air column decreases,the number of beats per second decreases. When the temperature is $16^{\circ} C$,only one beat per second is produced. The frequency of the tuning fork is ........... $Hz$.

When a guitar string is sounded with a $440\, Hz$ tuning fork,a beat frequency of $5\, Hz$ is heard. If the experiment is repeated with a tuning fork of $437\, Hz$,the beat frequency is $8\, Hz$. The string frequency $(Hz)$ is

The correct figure that shows,schematically,the wave pattern produced by the superposition of two waves of frequencies $9\,Hz$ and $11\,Hz$ is:
