Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by,
\(y_1=4\sin 600\pi t\) and \(y_2=5\sin 608\pi t\).
An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear:

1. \(4\) beats per second with intensity ratio \(25:16\) between waxing and waning
2. \(8\) beats per second with intensity ratio \(25:16\) between waxing and waning
3. \(8\) beats per second with intensity ratio \(81:1\) between waxing and waning
4. \(4\) beats per second with intensity ratio \(81:1\) between waxing and waning

Tuning fork \(F_1\) has a frequency of \(256~\text{Hz}\) and it is observed to produce \(6\) beats/second with another tuning fork \(F_2\). When \(F_2\) is loaded with wax, it still produces \(6\) beats/second with \(F_1\). The frequency of \(F_2\) before loading was:
1. \(253~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(262~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(250~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(259~\text{Hz}\)

 In a guitar, two strings \(A\) and \(B\) made of same material are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency \(6~\text{Hz}\). When tension in \(B\) is slightly decreased, the beat frequency increases to \(7~\text{Hz}\).  If the frequency of \(A\) is \(530~\text{Hz}\), the original frequency of \(B\) will be:

1. \(524~\text{Hz}\) 2. \(536~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(537~\text{Hz}\) 4. \(523~\text{Hz}\)

A tuning fork of frequency \(200~\text{Hz}\) produced \(10\) beats/sec when sounded with a vibrating sonometer wire. If the tension in the wire is slightly increased the number of beats becomes \(9\) beats/sec. What was the original frequency of the vibrating sonometer wire?
1. \(210~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(209~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(191~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(190~\text{Hz}\)

Two identical wires are stretched by the same tension \(100\) N and each emits a node of frequency \(200\) Hz. If the tension in one wire is increased by \(1\) N, then the beat frequency is:
1. \(2\) Hz
2. \(\dfrac12\) Hz
3. \(1\) Hz
4. none of these
