To calculate:The two possible frequencies of the second tuning fork.
Answer to Problem 55A
The two possible frequencies of the second tuning fork are
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Frequency of the first tuning fork =
Frequency of the beat notes when the second tuning fork is struck=
Formula used:
Frequency of the beat notes = difference of the frequencies of sound sources.
Calculation:
As per the problem,
Frequency of the first tuning fork =
Frequency of the beat notes when the second tuning fork is struck =
Rewriting the stated formula to find the frequency of the second tuning fork
Frequency of second tuning fork = frequency of the first tuning fork
Substitute the values
Frequency of second tuning fork
That is,
The two possible frequencies of the second tuning fork are
Conclusion:
The two possible frequencies of the second tuning fork are
