Question

Two tuning forks $AandB$ vibrate with frequencies in the ratio $3:8$ and their wavelengths in the ratio $4:5$. The tuning fork $A$ produces relatively ......... .

• A. Shriller sound than tunning fork $B$.
• B. Flatter sound than tunning fork $B$.
• C. Louder sound than tuning fork $B$.
• D. Wave of more wavelength than that of tuning fork $B$.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Flatter sound than tunning fork $B$.

Answer is B.

The tuning fork A produces a flatter sound than the tuning fork B because the frequency of the tuning fork A is less than the frequency of the tuning fork B.
The sound wave with higher frequency will produce higher pitch sounds and vice versa.
