A tuning fork of frequency $256 \mathrm{~Hz}$ produces 4 beats per second with a wire of length $25 \mathrm{~cm}$ vibrating in its fundamental mode. The beat frequency decreases when the length is slightly shortened. What could be the minimum length by which the wire be shortened so that it produces no beats with the tuning fork?
A tuning fork of frequency 392 Hz, resonates with 50 cm length of a string under tension (T). If length of the string is decreased by 2%, keeping the tension constant, the number of beats heard when the string and the tuning fork made to vibrate simultaneously is

A tuning fork of known frequency $256 \mathrm{~Hz}$ makes 5 beats per second with the vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2 beats per second when the tension in the piano string is slightly increased. The frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension was (A) $256+2 \mathrm{~Hz}$ (B) $256-2 \mathrm{~Hz}$ (C) $256-5 \mathrm{~Hz}$ (D) $256+5 \mathrm{~Hz}$
