A tuning fork vibrating with a sonometer having a wire of length $20 \,cm$ produces $5$ beats per second. The beats frequency does not change if the length of the wire is changed to $21 \,cm$. The frequency of the tuning fork must be ............ $Hz$

A

$200$

B

$210$

C

$205$

D

$215$

Solution

(c)

Let frequency of tuning fork be $f$.

From question we know the frequencies of sonometer wire $\left(\frac{v}{21}\right)$ are $\frac{v}{2 \times 0.2}$ and $\frac{v}{2 \times 0.21}$

$\operatorname{Now} \frac{v}{0.4}-f=8$

$f-\frac{v}{0.42}=5 \quad \dots(ii)$

Solving $(i)$ and $(ii)$, answer is $(c)$
