Q86 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jun Shift 2) · Physics

A set of 20 tuning forks is arranged in a series of increasing frequencies. If each fork gives 4 beats with respect to the preceding fork and the frequency of the last fork is twice the frequency of the first, then the frequency of last fork is _____ Hz.

Correct answer: 152

Solution

Figure

Each fork produces 4 beats per second with the previous means each fork has frequency 4 Hz more than the previous.

Using relation, flast=ffirst+N-1x, here, N is the number of tuning fork in series and x is beat frequency between two successive forks.

2f0=f0+ 20-14

⇒2f0=f0+76⇒f0=76 Hz

Frequency of last tuning fork is 152 Hz.

Hence, the correct answer is 152.
