Expert Solution
Step 1

8)

Given:

Frequency of the tuning fork is f1 =262 Hz

Period of beat is T=0.500 sec

So frequency of beat is given by,

Advanced Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

fB=2 Hz

Step 2

Using beat frequency formula,

fB=f1-f2

2=262-f2

f2=262-2

f2=260 Hz

Thus the possible frequency of the piano key is 260 Hz.

Given: Length of pipe is L=0.8m

For pipe closed at one end,
