A man is watching two trains, one leaving and the other coming with equal speed of $4\,m/s$. If they sound their whistles each of frequency $240\, Hz$, the number of beats per sec heard by man will be equal to (velocity of sound in air $= 320\, m/s$)

- 3A 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 $Hz$ isView Solution
