The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Using $n_{\text {Last }}=n_{\text {First }}+(N-1) x$
where $N =$ Number of tuning forks in series
$x=$ beat frequency between two successive forks
$\Rightarrow 2 n=n+(10-1) \times 4$
$ \Rightarrow n=36 \,H z$
where $N =$ Number of tuning forks in series
$x=$ beat frequency between two successive forks
$\Rightarrow 2 n=n+(10-1) \times 4$
$ \Rightarrow n=36 \,H z$

What is Beat Frequency?
Let’s see from fig.m, the frequency of a pink-colored wave is f1, and that of a green-colored wave is f2. So, the frequency of the beat is the difference between these two, which is:
fBEATS = |f1 - f2|
Interference and Beats
When two or more waves travelling in a medium meet, the resulting phenomenon is called interference and beats are an excellent example of the phenomenon of interference.
