Two identical piano wires, kept under the same tension $T$ have a fundamental frequency of $600\,\, Hz.$ The fractional increase in the tension of one of the wires which will lead to occurrence of $6\,\, beats/s$ when both the wires oscillate together would be
  • A$0.01$
  • B$0.02$
  • C$0.03$
  • D$0.04$

    A stationary source emits sound of frequency $\mathrm{f}_0=492 \mathrm{~Hz}$. The sound is reflected by a large car approaching the source with a speed of $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$. The reflected signal is received by the soruce and superposed with the original. What will be the beat frequency of the resulting signal in $\mathrm{Hz}$ ? (Given that the speed of sound in air is $330 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$ and the car reflects the sound at the frequency it has received).
