(B) Let the frequencies be $n_1 = 400\, Hz$,$n_2 = 401\, Hz$,and $n_3 = 402\, Hz$.The resultant displacement $y$ is the sum of the three waves: $y = a\sin(2\pi n_1 t) + a\sin(2\pi n_2 t) + a\sin(2\pi n_3 t)$.Using the identity $\sin A + \sin C = 2\sin(\frac{A+C}{2})\cos(\frac{A-C}{2})$,we combine the first and third terms:$y = a\sin(2\pi n_2 t) + a[2\sin(2\pi n_2 t)\cos(2\pi t)]$.$y = a(1 + 2\cos(2\pi t))\sin(2\pi n_2 t)$.The amplitude of the resultant wave is $A(t) = a(1 + 2\cos(2\pi t))$.Beats are produced by the variation in amplitude. The frequency of the amplitude variation is determined by the term $\cos(2\pi t)$.The frequency of this term is $f = 1\, Hz$.Thus,the number of beats heard per second is $1$.

There are three sources of sound of equal intensity with frequencies $400, 401$ and $402\, vib/sec.$ The number of beats heard per second is

The wavelengths of two sound notes in air are $\frac{40}{195} \,m$ and $\frac{40}{193} \,m$. Each note produces $9$ beats per second separately with a third note of fixed frequency. The velocity of sound in air in $m/s$ is

For the formation of beats,two sound notes must have:

The string of a violin emits a note of $205 \,Hz$ at its correct tension. The string is tightened slightly and then it produces six beats in two seconds with a tuning fork of frequency $205 \,Hz$. The frequency of the note emitted by the taut string is .......... $Hz$.

$A$ tuning fork sounded together with a tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ emits $2$ beats per second. On loading the tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz,$ the number of beats heard is $1$ per second. The frequency of the unknown tuning fork is: (in $Hz$)

Two tuning forks $A$ and $B$ produce notes of frequencies $258 \,Hz$ and $262 \,Hz$. An unknown note sounded with $A$ produces certain beats. When the same note is sounded with $B$, the beat frequency gets doubled. The unknown frequency is (in $\,Hz$)
