You are given four tuning forks. The fork with the lowest frequency oscillates at 500 Hz. By striking two tuning forks at a time, you can produce the following beat frequencies, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 Hz. What are the possible frequencies of the other three forks? (There are two sets of answers.)
A student shares a surgical tubing in the lab. The tension on the tubing is 50N. The student measures the fourth frequency of the tubing to the 20 Hz. The length of the tubing is 2m. Calculate the mass of the tubing
A tuning fork of unknown frequency makes 3.00 beats per second with a standard fork of frequency 384 Hz. The beat frequency decreases when a small piece of wax is put on a prong of the first fork.What is the frequency of this fork?
