    Two wires are fixed in a sonometer. Their tensions are in the ratio 8 : 1. The lengths are in the ratio 36 : 35. The diameters are in the ratio 4 : 1. Densities of the materials are in the ratio 1 : 2. If the higher frequency in the  setting is 360 Hz, the beat frequency when the two wires are sounded together, is:

    A)  8                                            

    B)  5

    C)  10                                         

    D)  6

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Frequency of sonometer wire is given by                 \[n=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}=\frac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi {{r}^{2}}\rho }}\]                 \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{1}{2{{l}_{1}}}\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{\pi r_{1}^{2}{{\rho }_{1}}}}\]                 \[{{n}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2{{l}_{2}}}\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{\pi r_{2}^{2}{{\rho }_{2}}}}\]                              ... (ii) \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\times \frac{r_{2}^{2}}{r_{1}^{2}}\times \frac{{{\rho }_{2}}}{{{\rho }_{1}}}}\]                 \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}}{{{n}_{2}}}=\frac{35}{36}\sqrt{\frac{8}{1}\times \frac{1}{16}\times \frac{2}{1}}\] \[\because \]     \[{{n}_{1}}<{{n}_{2}}\]and \[{{n}_{2}}=360\]       Therefore, \[n=360\times \frac{35}{36}\]                 \[{{n}_{1}}=350\,Hz\] So, number of beats produced \[={{n}_{1}}-{{n}_{2}}\]                 \[=360-350=10\]
