Two tuning forks of frequencies $320 \,Hz$ and $480 \,Hz$ are sounded together to produce sound waves. The velocity of sound in air is $320 \,ms^{-1}$. The difference between the wavelengths of these waves is nearly: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $48$
  • B
    $16.5$
  • C
    $33$
  • D
    $42$

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

The wavelength of one wave is $99 \ cm$ and that of another is $100 \ cm$. If the speed of sound is $396 \ m/s$,the number of beats heard per second is:

The sound waves of wavelengths $5 \,m$ and $6 \,m$ produce $30$ beats in $3 \,s$. The velocity of sound is (in $\,m/s$)

$41$ tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency. Each tuning fork produces $5 \, \text{beats/sec}$ with the next one. If the frequency of the last tuning fork is double that of the first, what are the frequencies of the first and last tuning forks?

Ten tuning forks are arranged in increasing order of frequency in such a way that any two consecutive tuning forks produce $4$ beats per second. The highest frequency is twice that of the lowest. Possible highest and lowest frequencies (in $Hz$) are ................
