NTA Abhyas JEE Main2020PhysicsWaves and SoundPractice
There are two waves having wavelength 100 cm and 101 cm and same velocity 303 m s - 1 . The beat frequency is
Options
- A4     Hz
- B1     Hz
- C3 Hz
- D2     Hz
Correct answer
C. 3 Hz
Step-by-step solution
If f 1 and f 2 are the frequencies ( f 1 > f 2 ) of the two waves, then the beat frequency f b = f 1 - f 2 Frequency of 1 s t wave, f 1 = V 1 λ 1 = 303 100 × 10 2 = 3.03 × 10 2 H z For 2 n d wave, f 2 = V 1 λ 2 = 303 101 × 10 2 = 3 × 10 2 H z So, beat frequency = f 1 - f 2 = 3.03 × 10 2 - 3 × 10 2 = . 03 × 10 2 = 3 H z
