Tuning fork \(F_1\) has a frequency of \(256~\text{Hz}\) and it is observed to produce \(6\) beats/second with another tuning fork \(F_2\). When \(F_2\) is loaded with wax, it still produces \(6\) beats/second with \(F_1\). The frequency of \(F_2\) before loading was:
1. \(253~\text{Hz}\)
2. \(262~\text{Hz}\)
