A tuning fork of frequency 254Hz and an open pipe of slightly lower frequency are at 15°C. When sounded together they produce 4 beats per second . On altering the temperature of air the pipe, it is observed that the number of beats per second first diminishes to zero and increases to 4 again. By how much has the temperature of the air in the pipe been altered?

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
