You hear a sound with a frequency of 256 Hz. The amplitude of the sound increases and decreases periodically: it takes 2 seconds

for the sound to go from loud to soft and back to loud. This sound can be thought of as a sum of two waves with frequencies:
(A) 256 Hz and 2 Hz.
(B) 254 Hz and 258 Hz.
(C) 255 Hz and 257 Hz.
(D) 255.5 Hz and 256.5 Hz.
(E) 255.75 Hz and 256.25 Hz.

To solve this problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency and period, and how they are related to each other.

The relationship that defines both agreements is given by the equation,

f_{beat}=\frac{1}{T}

Then the frequency for the previous period given (2sec) is

f_{beat}=\frac{1}{2}

f_{beat} = 0.5Hz

The beat frequency of two frequencies is equal to the difference between the two frequencies, then

f_{beat} = |f_1-f_2|\\f_{beat} = |256Hz-2Hz|\\f_{beat} = 254Hz

<em>Hence option A is incorrect.</em>

We can do this process for 254Hz as f_1 and 258 Hz for f_2 , then

f_{beat} =|254Hz-258Hz|

f_{beat} = 4Hz

<em>Hence option B is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255Hz as  f_1 and 257 Hz for f_2 , then

f_{beat} =|255Hz-257Hz|

f_{beat} = 2Hz

<em>Hence option C is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.5Hz as f_1 and 256.5 Hz for f_2, then

f_{beat} =|255.5Hz-256.5Hz|\\f_{beat} = 1Hz

<em>Hence option D is incorrect. </em>

We can also do this process for 255.75Hz as f_1 and 256.25 Hz for f_2, then

f_{beat} =|255.75Hz-256.25Hz|\\f_{beat} = 0.5Hz

<em>Hence option E is incorrect. </em>

Therefore the sum of the frequencies in the sound wave would be 256.25Hz and 255.75Hz
