(c) Number of beats per second = ${n_1}\sim{n_2}$
${\omega _1} = 2000\pi = 2\pi {n_1}$ ==> $n_1 = 1000$
and ${\omega _2} = 2008\pi = 2\pi {n_2} ==> n_2 = 1004$
Number of beats heard per sec $ = 1004 - 1000 = 4$

    Two waves are propagating to the point $P$ along a straight line produced by two sources $A$ and $B$ of simple harmonic and of equal frequency.

    A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ reasonates 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
