- Two tuning forks A and B produce notes of frequencies 256 Hz and 262 Hz respectively. An unknown note sounded at the same time as a produces beats, When the same note is sounded with B, be at frequency is twice as large. Two unknown frequency could be

- 260 Hz
- 250 Hz
- 242 Hz
- A sound wave of frequency f propagating through air with a velocity C, is reflected from a surface which is moving away from the source with a constant speed v. The frequency of1he reflected wave, measured by the observer at the position of the source, is
- f (C-v) ⟋C + v
- f (C + v) ⟋C-v
- f (C + 2v) ⟋C + v
- f (C + v) ⟋C − 2v
