14.Waves and Sound
normal

When two sound sources of the same amplitude but of slightly different frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ are sounded simultaneously, the sound one hears has a frequency equal to

A

$\left| {{v_1} - {v_2}} \right|$

B

$\left[ {\frac{{{v_1} + {v_2}}}{2}} \right]$

C

$\sqrt {{v_1}{v_2}} $

D

$\left[ {{v_1} + {v_2}} \right]$

Solution

The resulting sound wave has a frequency equal to half the sum of the individual frequencies. Note that the resulting intensity varies at the beat frequency equal to difference of the individual frequencies
