Caroline, a piano tuner, suspects that a piano's G4 key is out of tune. Normally, she would play the key along with her G4 tunin

g fork and tune the piano to match, but her G4 tuning fork is missing! Instead, she plays the errant key along with her F4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 349.2 Hz), displays the resulting waveform on a handheld oscilloscope, and measures a beat frequency of 76.7 Hz. Then, she plays the errant key along with her A4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 440.0 Hz) and measures a beat frequency of 14.1 Hz.
What frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key ?
a. 363.3 Hz
b. 451.1 Hz
c. 33.9 Hz
d. 272.5 Hz
e. 425.9 Hz

Answer:

e. 425.9 Hz

Explanation:

The computation of the frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key is shown below;

Given that

Δf1  = x - 349.2 = 76.7.........(1)

Δf2 = 440 - x  = 14.1......(2)

Now solve (1) and (2)

(440 - x) - x + 349.2 = 14.1 - 76.7

789.2 + (-2x) = -62.6

x = 425.9 Hz

Hence, the frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key is 425.9 Hz

Therefore the option e is correct

Select the correct answer.

<span>The correct answer is C:Waves transfer energy, but not matter. A wave does not move matter in the direction of its propagation. It only transfers energy just like the ocean wave traveling many miles away with the water just moving up and down.</span>

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.
