Physics Wave and Sound JEE (Main) / AIEEE Problems Previous Years MCQ (Single Correct)

A vibrating string of certain length l under a tension T resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency n. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m/s, the frequency n of the tuning fork in Hz is

A
344
B
336
C
117.3
D
109.3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

As string and tube are in resonance

When T increases, also increases. It is given that beat frequency decreases to 2 Hz .
