Question

The interference of two sound waves of similar amplitude but slightly different frequencies produces a loud-soft-loud oscillation we call __________.
a. the Doppler effect
b. vibrato
c. constructive and destructive interference
d. beats

Answer 1

Answer:

the correct answer is d Beats

Explanation:

when two sound waves interfere time has different frequencies, the result is the sum of the waves is

       y = 2A cos 2π (f₁-f₂)/2    cos 2π (f₁ + f₂)/2

where in this expression the first part represents the envelope and the second part represents the pulse or beatings of the wave.

When examining the correct answer is d Beats
