The equation of vibration of a taut string, fixed at both ends, is given by; \(y=(3~\text{mm})~\text{cos}\left(\dfrac{\pi x}{10~\text{cm}}\right)~\text{sin}(800\pi~\text{s}^{-1}{t}).\) The positions of the nodes are:
1. \(x= 0~\text{cm}, 10~\text{cm}, 20~\text{cm},....\)
2. \(x= 0~\text{cm}, 20~\text{cm}, 40~\text{cm},....\)
3. \(x= 5~\text{cm}, 10~\text{cm}, 15~\text{cm},....\)
4. \(x= 5~\text{cm}, 15~\text{cm}, 25~\text{cm},....\)

Two different sources of sound having slightly different periods of vibration: \(1~\text{ms}\) and \(1.01~\text{ms},\) are sounded together. The resulting beat frequency is nearly:
1. \(100~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(50~\text{Hz}\)
3. \(10~\text{Hz}\)
4. \(0.01~\text{Hz}\)

A tuning fork, placed in a room, vibrates according to the equation:    \(Y=(10^{-4}~\text m)\sin\Big({\large\frac{2\pi t}{0.01~\text s}}\Big)\) where \(Y\) is the displacement of the tip of a prong. The speed of sound in air is \(330~\text{m/s}.\)
If an additional tuning fork of frequency \(102~\text{Hz}\) is sounded together with this, then a beat frequency of:
1. \(1~\text{Hz}\) will be heard.
2. \(2~\text{Hz}\) will be heard.
3. \(202~\text{Hz}\) will be heard.
4. \(101~\text{Hz}\) will be heard.
