4) A piano tuner hits a key on a piano and strikes a 320 Hz tuning fork. a) The tuner hears a beat frequency of 5 Hz. What could the piano frequency be? Explain. b) The tuner then tightens the piano string which increases its frequency. When he does, the beat frequency increases. What is the original piano frequency?

A piano tuner detects 3 beats per second when she is tuning a string to a tuning fork of frequency 440 Hz. When she tightens the string, which increases the frequency of the string, the frequency of the beats initially goes down, and as she keeps increasing the frequency of the string, the frequency of the beats starts to increase. What was the original frequency of the string? a. either 437 Hz or 443 Hz (One cannot tell without more...

A guitarist tunes one of her strings to a 440 Hz tuning fork. Initially, a beat frequency of 5 Hz is heard when the string and tuning fork are sounded. When the guitarist tightens the string slowly and steadily, the beat frequency decreases to 4 Hz. What was the initial frequency of the string?
A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity.
A musician is tuning the pitch of a violin using a sound fork at 3,000 Hz. He first hears the combined sound intensity rise and fall with a time of 0.25 s between the maximum intensity and the succeeding minimum intensity. As he tightens the string, the time between the intensity maximums becomes longer. What is the pitch of the violin string at first?
