Physics of Sound

  1. Two sound waves with wavelengths 5.0 m and 5.5m respectively, each propagate in a gas with velocity 330 m/s. We expect the following number of beats per second
    1. 0
    2. 1
    3. 6
    4. 12
Correct Option: C

Frequencies of sound waves are

330
&
330
55.5

i.e., 66 Hz and 60 Hz
Frequencies of beat = 66 – 60 = 6 per second
