$A$ prong of a vibrating tuning fork is in contact with the water surface. It produces concentric circular waves on the surface of the water. The distance between five consecutive crests is $0.8 \ m$ and the velocity of the wave on the water surface is $56 \ m/s$. The frequency of the tuning fork is: (in $Hz$)

The speed of sound in a gas,in which two waves of wavelength $1.0\, m$ and $1.02\, m$ produce $6$ beats per second,is approximately .... $m/s$

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce $8 \, Hz$ beats per second when sounded together. $A$ gas column $37.5 \, cm$ long in a pipe closed at one end resonates in its fundamental mode with fork $A$,whereas a column of length $38.5 \, cm$ of the same gas in a similar pipe is required for resonance with fork $B$. The frequencies of these two tuning forks are:
