    When temperature increases, the frequency of a tuning fork     [AIEEE 2002]

    A)            Increases                               

    B)            Decreases

    C)            Remains same                     

    D)            Increases or decreases depending on the material

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               With temperature rise frequency of tuning fork decreases. Because, the elastic properties are modified when temperature is changed also, \[{{n}_{t}}={{n}_{s}}(1-0.00011t)\] where \[{{n}_{t}}=\] frequency at \[t{}^\circ C\], \[{{n}_{s}}\]= frequency at \[0{}^\circ C\]
