Question

When musicians tune their instruments, they listen for "beats" in the sound the instruments produce when matched to a standard pitch. These beats are moments when the sound becomes louder, then softer, then louder again. Musicians adjust the pitch of their instruments until they do not hear any more beats in the tuning process. Which statements explain the phenomenon described in the scenario? Check all that apply. The moments of loudness represent constructive interference. The tuning process depends on diffraction. The moments of softness represent destructive interference. The beats are produced by reflections. The instrument is tuned when the frequencies of the standard and the instrument align.

Answer 1

1,3,and 5. Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Answer: The statements that explain the provided the scenario are "The moment of loudness represent constructive interference" and "The moment of softness represents the destructive interference".

Explanation:

Beat is the interference of the sound waves of having slightly different frequencies.

When the compression of the sound wave meets compression of the another sound wave or rarefaction meets rarefaction then the loud sound will be produced. In this case, the constructive interference will occur.

When the compression of the sound wave meets rarefaction of the another sound wave then there will be reduction in the loudness of the sound. In this case, the destructive interference will occur.

Therefore, the statements that explain the provided the scenario are "The moment of loudness represent constructive interference" and "The moment of softness represents the destructive interference".
