उत्तर

Given:
First Frequency \[f_1\] = 476 Hz
Second frequency \[f_2\] = 480 Hz
Number of beats produced per second by the tuning fork m = 2

As the tuning fork produces 2 beats, its frequency should be an average of two.
This is given by :

\[f = \frac{\left( f_1 + f_2 \right)}{2}\] 

\[f = \frac{\left( 476 + 480 \right)}{2} = 478  \text { Hz }\]
