It is possible to hear beats from two vibrating sources of frequency:

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce notes of frequencies $258 \,Hz$ and $262 \,Hz$. An unknown note sounded with $A$ produces certain beats. When the same note is sounded with $B$, the beat frequency gets doubled. The unknown frequency is (in $\,Hz$)

Two identical piano wires have a fundamental frequency of $600 \text{ Hz}$ when kept under the same tension. What fractional increase in the tension of one wire will lead to the occurrence of $6$ beats per second when both wires vibrate simultaneously?

Two sound waves having wavelengths $5.0 \ m$ and $5.5 \ m$ propagate in a gas with velocity $300 \ m/s$. The number of beats produced per second is

When an air column at $15 ^\circ C$ and a tuning fork are sounded together, $4$ beats per second are produced. The frequency of the fork is less than that of the air column. When the temperature falls to $10 ^\circ C$, the beat frequency decreases by one. The frequency of the fork will be ..... $Hz$ $[V_{sound}$ at $0 ^\circ C = 332, m/s]$.
