Sol. Given length of the closed organ pipe, l = 40 cm = 40 × 10^–2 m V base air = 320 So, its frequency p = V/4 l = 320/4 * 40 * 10^-2 = 200 Hertz. As the tuning fork produces 5 beats with the closed pipe, its frequency must be 195 Hz or 205 Hz. Given that, as it is loaded its frequency decreases. So, the frequency of tuning fork = 205 Hz.
