Question

Suppose three tuning forks of frequencies 260 Hz, 262 Hz, and 266 Hz are available. What beat frequencies are possible for pairs of these forks sounde?

Answer 1

Two, four, and six Hz are possible beat frequencies for pairs of these tuning forks sounded together.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of wobbles per second is called the beat frequency, which can be calculated by taking difference in two individual frequencies of two sound waves.

Thus,

262 Hz - 260 Hz = 2 Hz

266 Hz - 262 Hz = 4 Hz

266 Hz - 260 Hz = 6 Hz

Hence,

Two, four, and six Hz are possible beat frequencies for pairs of these tuning forks sounded together.
