D$292$
d (b) $n_A$ = Known frequency $= 288\, cps,$ $n_B = ?$
$x = 4 \,bps$, which is decreasing (from $4$ to $2$) after loading i.e. $x\downarrow$
Unknown fork is loaded so $n_B\downarrow$
Hence $n_A -n_B\downarrow = x\downarrow$ $\rightarrow$ Wrong
$n_B\downarrow -n_A\downarrow = x\downarrow$ $\rightarrow$ Correct
$n_B = n_A + x = 288 + 4 = 292 Hz.$

A police car with a siren of frequency $8 \ kHz$ is moving with uniform velocity $36 \ km / hr$ towards a tall building which reflects the sound waves. The speed of sound in air is $320 \ m / s$. The frequency of the siren heard by the car driver is
The equation of a wave is given by (all quantity expressed in $m.k.s\ units$ ) $Y$ = $5\ sin10\pi $ $(t - 0.01x)$ along the $x-$ axis. The phase difference between the points separated by a distance of $10\ m$ along $x-$ axis is
A wave equation which gives the displacement along $y-$direction is given by $y = 0.001\sin (100t + x)$ where $x$ and $y$ are in meterand t is time in second. This represented a wave
Two cars moving in opposite directions approach each other with speed of $22\, m s^{-1}$ and $16.5 \, m s^{-1}$ respectively. The driver of the first car blows a horn having a frequency $400 \,Hz.$ The frequency heard by the driver of the second car is ..... $Hz$ (velocity of sound is $340 \, m s^{-1}$)
A wire having a linear mass density $9.0 \times 10^{-4} \;{kg} / {m}$ is stretched between two rigid supports with a tension of $900\; {N}$. The wire resonates at a frequency of $500\;{Hz}$. The next higher frequency at which the same wire resonates is $550\; {Hz}$. The length of the wire is $...... {m}$
A source producing sound of frequency $170 Hz$ is approaching a stationary observer with a velocity $17 \,ms^{-1}$. The apparent change in the wavelength of sound heard by the observer is (speed of sound in air $= 340 \,ms^{-1}$) ..... $m$
