You and a friend frequently play a trombone duet in a jazz band. During such performances it is critical that the two instrument
s be perfectly tuned. Since you take better care of your trombone, you decide to use your instrument as the standard. When you produce a tone that is known to be 470 Hz and your friend attempts to play the same note, you hear 4 beats every 3.00 seconds. Your ear is good enough to detect that your trombone is at a higher frequency. Determine the frequency of your friend's trombone. (Enter your answer to at least 1 decimal place.)
A beat is a sudden increase and decrease of sound. The beats are produced through the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. Now we have the following data:
The higher frequency tone = f₁ = 470 Hz
No. of beats = n = 4 beats
Time period = t = 3 s
The lower frequency note = Frequency of Friend's Trombone = f₂ = ?
Beat Frequency = fb
So, the formula for beats per second or beat frequency is given as:
Usually when you are at the bottom you are at peak speed. It also shows that Kinetic Energy is the green bar and in picture C the green bar is highest.
