10 Hz
360 Hz
216 Hz
60 Hz
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is
B
Solution and Explanation
Number of holes in the disk determines the number of waves produced on each rotation $= 60$
The total number of waves per second determines the frequency of the sound.
So frequency $=60 \times \frac{360}{60}=360 \,Hz$
