A trumpet player hears 5 beats per second when she plays a note and simultaneously sounds a 440 Hz tuning fork. After pulling her tuning valve out to slightly increase the length of her trumpet, she hears 3 beats per second against the tuning fork. Was her initial frequency 435 Hz or 445 Hz? Explain.

her initial frequency is 445 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

initial beat frequency, = 5

observed frequency, F = 440 Hz

let the initial frequency = F₁

F₁ = F  ±  5 Hz

F₁ = 440 Hz  ±  5 Hz

F₁ = 435 or 445 Hz

This result obtained shows that her initial frequency can either be 435 Hz or 445 Hz

The last beat frequency will be used to determine the actual initial frequency.

F = v/λ

Frequency (F) is inversely proportional to wavelength. That is an increase in length will cause a proportional decrease in frequency.

This shows that the final frequency is smaller than the initial frequency because of the increase in length.

Initial frequency   -  frequency of tuning fork = 5 beat frequency

Reduced initial frequency - frequency of tuning fork = 3 beat frequency

Initial frequency = 5Hz + 440 Hz = 445 Hz

Final frequency (Reduced initial frequency) = 440 + 3 = 443 Hz

Check: 445 Hz - 440 Hz = 5 Hz

            443 Hz - 440 Hz = 3 Hz
