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 ..... $Hz$.

$A$ tuning fork of unknown frequency produces $3 \, \text{beats/sec}$ with a standard tuning fork of frequency $384 \, \text{Hz}$. The beat frequency decreases when a small piece of wax is placed on the prong of the unknown tuning fork. The frequency of the unknown tuning fork is .... $\text{Hz}$

What is beat frequency?

When two tuning forks (fork $1$ and fork $2$) are sounded simultaneously,$4$ beats per second are heard. Now,some tape is attached to the prong of fork $2$. When the tuning forks are sounded again,$6$ beats per second are heard. If the frequency of fork $1$ is $200 \, Hz$,then what was the original frequency of fork $2$ (in $, Hz$)?

The frequencies of tuning forks $A$ and $B$ are respectively $3\%$ more and $2\%$ less than the frequency of tuning fork $C$. When $A$ and $B$ are simultaneously excited,$5$ beats per second are produced. Then the frequency of the tuning fork $A$ (in $Hz$) is
