MCQ
A source of sound gives five beats per second when sounded with another source of frequency $100\,{s^{ - 1}}$. The second harmonic of the source together with a source of frequency $205\,{s^{ - 1}}$ gives five beats per second. What is the frequency of the source .... ${s^{ - 1}}$
  • $105$
  • B
    $205$
  • C
    $95$
  • D
    $100$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$105$
a
(a) Frequency of the source $ = 100 \pm 5 = 105 Hz\,$ or $ \,95 Hz.$ 

Second harmonic of the source $= 210 Hz$ or $190 Hz.$

As the second harmonic gives $5$ beats/sec with sound of frequency $205 Hz,$

the second harmonic should be $210 Hz.$

==> Frequency of the source $= 105 Hz.$
