Beats

Two sound waves having frequencies 250 Hz and 256 Hz superimpose to produce beat wave. The resultant beat wave has intensity maximum at t=0t = 0. After how much time an intensity will be minimum produced at the same point?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Beat frequency =256−250=6 Hz= 256 - 250 = 6\text{ Hz}, beat period T=16 sT = \frac{1}{6}\text{ s}
  2. A minimum comes half a beat period after a maximum: t=T2=112 st = \frac{T}{2} = \frac{1}{12}\text{ s}
  3. So the answer is (d) 112 s\frac{1}{12}\text{ s}.
