Q35 / 117 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Waves and Sound
A long string is fixed at both ends. It has a mass of and vibrates in its first overtone under tension. Also given is a closed pipe which is long which vibrates in its fundamental frequency. When both of these are sounded simultaneously, beats per second are heard. It is also observed that decreasing the tension in the string also decreases the beat frequency. What is the tension (in ) in the string? [Given, speed of sound in air is ]
Correct answer: 59.29
Solution
overtone,
Pipe in fundamental frequency,
By decreasing the tension, beat
frequency is decreased.
Hence, the correct answer is 59.29.
