    A tuning fork vibrating with a sonometer having 20 cm wire produces 5 beats/s. The beat frequency does not change when the length of the wire is changed to 21 cm. The frequency of tuning fork is :

    A)  200                                       

    B)  210

    C)  205                                       

    D)  215

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    The frequency of sonometer wire is given by \[n=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\] where\[l\]is length, T the tension and m the mass per unit length. When the length of wire is 0.20 m.                 \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2\times 0.2}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\] When length is 0.21 m, then                 \[{{n}_{2}}=\frac{1}{0.21\times 2}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\] Let frequency of tuning fork be N,                 \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{N+5}{N-5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{0.21}{0.20}=\frac{N+5}{N-5}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0.21\,N-1.05=0.2\,N+1\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0.01\,N=2.05\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[N=\frac{2.05}{0.01}=205\,Hz\]
