Question
when a tuning fork vibrates with 1.0 m or 1.05m long wire of a sonometer, 5 beats per second are produced in each case. what will be the frequency of the tuning fork ??
Joshi sir comment
for sonometer wire
l = λ/2
or 2l = v/n here n represents frequency
or n = v/2l
for first wire of 1 m length n= v/2
for second wire of 1.05 m length n=v/2.1
let frequency of tuning fork = n1
so according to the given condition v/2 = n1+ 5
and v/2.1 = n1 - 5
solve now
