MCQ

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

A
$200$
B
$210$
✓
$205$
D
$215$

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

$205$

c
(c) Let the frequency of tunning fork be $N$
As the frequency of vibration string $ \propto \frac{1}{{{\rm{length}}\;{\rm{of}}{\rm{string}}}}$
For sonometer wire of length $20 cm$, frequency must be $(N + 5)$ and that for the sonometer wire of length $21cm,$ the frequency must be $(N -5)$ as in each case the tunning fork produces $5$ beats/sec with sonometer wire
Hence ${n_1}{l_1} = {n_2}{l_2}$

==> $(N + 5) \times 20 = (N - 5) \times 21$

==> $N = 205Hz.$

Photoelectric effect supports quantum nature of light because:

There is a minimum frequency below which no photoelectrons are emitted.

Electric charge of the photoelectrons is quantized.
