Expert Solution
Step 1

This is a problem based on the standing waves.

The frequency of a beat can be written as,

fbeat=f1-f2where,f1-Frequency of the tuning forkf2-Frequency of the srtingfbeat-Frequency ofa beat                           And                        fbeat=1TbeatWhere,Tbeat-Time period of a beat
