Practicing Success
In a guitar, two strings A and B made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 6 Hz. When tension in B is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to 7 Hz. If the frequency of A is 530 Hz, the original frequency of B will be: |
536 Hz 537 hz 523 Hz 524 Hz |
524 Hz |
Difference of fA and fB is 6 Hz If tension decreases, fB decreases and becomes f'B . Now, difference of fA and f'B = 7 Hz (increases) So, fA > fB fA – fB = 6 Hz fA = 530 Hz ; fB = 524 Hz (original) |
