14.Waves and Sound
normal
Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $Y_1 = 4\, sin\, 500\pi \,t$ and $Y_2 = 2\, sin\, 506 \pi \,t$. Number of beats produced per minute is
A
$3$
B
$360$
C
$180$
D
$60$
Solution
$Y_{1}=4 \sin 500 \pi t, Y_{2}=2 \sin 506 \pi t$
$\omega_{1}=500 \pi, \omega_{1}=2 \pi \mathrm{v}, \mathrm{v}_{1}=250, \mathrm{v}_{2}=253$
$v=v_{2}-v_{1}=253-250=3$ beats/s.
Number of beats per minute $:$ $3 \times 60=180$
