On sounding tuning fork $A$ with another tuning fork $B$ of frequency $384 Hz, 6$ beats are produced per second. After loading the prongs of $A$ with some wax and then sounding it again with $B, 4$ beats are produced per second. What is the frequency of the tuning fork $A$ .... $Hz$
A$388$
B$380$
C$378$
D$390$

D$390$
d (d) $n_A = ?, n_B = 384 Hz$
$x = 6\, bps$, which is decreasing (from $6$ to $4$) i.e. $x\downarrow$
Tuning fork $A$ is loaded so $ n_A\downarrow$
Hence $n_A\downarrow -n_B = x\downarrow$ .......$(i)$ $\rightarrow$Correct
$n_B -n_A\downarrow = x\downarrow$ ........$(ii)$ $\rightarrow$ Wrong
$ n_A = n_B + x = 384 + 6 = 390 Hz.$

Two waves of amplitudes $A_0$ and $x A_0$ pass through a region. If $x > j _0$ the difference in the maximum and minimum resultant amplitude possible is
If at same temperature and pressure, the densities for two diatomic gases are respectively ${d_1}$ and ${d_2}$, then the ratio of velocities of sound in these gases will be
A student is performing the experiment of resonance column. The diameter of the column tube is $6 \,cm$. The frequency of the tuning fork is $504\, Hz$. Speed of the sound at the given temperature is $336\, m / s$. The zero of the meter scale coincides with the top end of the resonance column tube. The reading of the water level in the column when the first resonance occurs is..........$cm$
Two generators $S_1$ and $S_2$ produce water wave of equal frequency. A point $P$ is located such that $(S_1P -S_2P)$ is equal to half a wavelength. When operated alone, $S_1$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $2a$ at $P$ while $S_2$ produces an oscillation of amplitude $a$ . If the generators are operated in phase, which graph correctly shows the resultant oscillation at $P$ ?
An observer standing near the sea shore observes $54$ waves per minute. If the wavelength of the water wave is $10m$ then the velocity of water wave is .... $ms^{-1}$
The equation of a travelling wave is $y = 60\cos (1800t - 6x)$ where $y$ is in microns, $t$ in seconds and $x$ in metres. The ratio of maximum particle velocity to velocity of wave propagation is
