Estimate what is the frequency of this fork

Reference no: EM13709167

Problem: A tuning fork of unknown frequency makes 6 beats per second with a standard fork of frequency 431 Hz. The beat frequency decreases when a small piece of wax is put on a prong of the first fork.

Part A: What is the frequency of this fork?

If possible just a brief explanation how you got the answer for above problem?
