18. Waves & Sound Beats
8PRACTICE PROBLEM
Suppose you have a pair of identical tuning forks, producing sound waves at a frequency of 523 Hz. Holding one of the tuning forks steady, you let the other fall from a 15-meter-high ledge. Ignoring air resistance determine the total beats you will hear before the plummeting tuning fork impacts the surface.
