Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, \text{beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta$. Find the value of $\beta - \alpha$.

Tuning fork $F_1$ has a frequency of $256 Hz$ 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 ..... $Hz$.

Two waves of lengths $50 \; cm$ and $51 \; cm$ produce $12$ beats per second. The velocity of sound is .... $m/s$.

$A$ tuning fork of frequency $480 \ Hz$ produces $10$ beats per second when sounded with a vibrating sonometer string. What must have been the frequency of the string if a slight increase in tension produces fewer beats per second than before?

The frequency of tuning fork $A$ is $256\,Hz$. It produces $4\,beats/sec$ with tuning fork $B$. When wax is applied to tuning fork $B$,$6\,beats/sec$ are heard. By reducing a small amount of wax,$4\,beats/sec$ are heard. The frequency of $B$ is .... $Hz$.
