CBSE Class 11-science Answered
(i) A tuning fork T produces n beats/sec with another fork S whose frequency is known to be n1. When T is loaded with wax, the beat frequency decreases. What is the frequency of T?
(ii) On loading T if the beat frequency increases, what will be the frequency of T?

Expert Answer
(i) The frequency of the fork T must be either (n1 + n) Hz or (n1 - n) Hz since n beats are produced initially.
When the fork is loaded with wax, its frequency is reduced.
Hence, if the fork had a frequency (n1 - n) Hz, then the beat frequency would have reduced.
So, the frequency of the unknown fork has to be (n1 + n) Hz.
(ii) Similarly, if the beat frequency increases then the frequency of fork T will be (n1 - n) Hz.
