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
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • B
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.
  • C
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • D
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.

The wavelengths of two waves are $50 \ cm$ and $51 \ cm$ respectively. If the temperature of the room is $20^{\circ}C$,what will be the number of beats produced per second by these waves,given that the speed of sound at $0^{\circ}C$ is $332 \ m/s$?

$A$ tuning fork $A$ produces $5$ beats per second with a tuning fork of frequency $480 \ Hz$. When a little wax is stuck to a prong of fork $A$,the number of beats heard per second becomes $2$. What is the frequency of tuning fork $A$ before the wax is stuck to it (in $Hz$)?

Draw graphs of beats produced by two harmonic waves of frequency $11 \ Hz$ and $9 \ Hz$.

The number of beats produced per second by two vibrations: $x_1 = x_0 \sin(646\pi t)$ and $x_2 = x_0 \sin(652\pi t)$ is

$A$ tuning fork whose frequency as given by the manufacturer is $512 \ Hz$ is being tested with an accurate oscillator. It is found that the fork produces a beat of $2 \ Hz$ when the oscillator reads $514 \ Hz$,but produces a beat of $6 \ Hz$ when the oscillator reads $510 \ Hz$. The actual frequency of the fork is ..... $Hz$.
