Homework Statement
To check the frequency of an unknown tuning fork, it is struck with one that vibrates at 256 Hz. While they vibrate together, beats with a period of 2 seconds are heard. What are the two possible frequencies for the unknown fork?
Homework Equations
f1-f2 = beats
1/T = f
The Attempt at a Solution
f1= 256Hz
Tb = 2 s
f = 1/2s = .5 Hz
f1-f2 = .5 Hz
f2 = 256.5 or 255.5
Is this correct? I think the wording threw me off.
