A vibrating string of certain length ll under a tension TT resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length 75 cm75 cm inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates 4 beat/s when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency nn. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to 2 per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be 340 m/s340 m/s, the frequency nn of the tuning fork (in HzHz ) is

344

336

117.3117.3

109.3109.3
Solution:
With increase in tension, frequency of vibrating string will increase. Since number of beats are decreasing. Therefore, frequency of vibrating string or third harmonic frequency of closed pipe should be less than the frequency of tuning fork by 4 .
∴∴ Frequency of tuning fork == Third harmonic frequency of closed pipe +4+4

=3\left(\frac{v}{4 l}\right)+4=3\left(\frac{340}{4 \times 0.75}\right)+4=344 \mathrm{~Hz} .

∴∴ correct option is (a).
