A sonometer wire, 65 cm long, is in resonance with a tuning fork of frequency N. If the length of the wire is decreased by 1 cm and it is vibrated with the same tuning fork, 8 beats are heard per second. What is the value of N?

Two organ pipes, each closed at one end, give 5 beats per second when emitting their fundamental notes. If their lengths are in the ratio of 50 : 51, their fundamental frequencies (in Hz) are   

Two sources A and B are sounding notes of frequency 680 Hz. A listener moves from A to B with a constant velocity u. If the speed of sound is 340 ms ^–1, what must be the value of u so that he hears 10 beats per second?
