You have two tuning forks that have a beat frequency of 2 Hz with respect to each other. One of them has a frequency of 440 Hz, but you do not know the frequency of the other. You place a small piece of clay on the other, an amount just capable of changing the beat frequency by 1 Hz, and you repeat the experiment. This time the beat frequency is 3 Hz. From this information, what is the frequency

of the other tuning fork (when it has no clay on it)?
1.442 Hz.
2.443 Hz.
3.438 Hz.
4.437 Hz.
