A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,
The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be
Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz
With the use of the formula SinФ = nλ / d, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.
Given that a grating has 2000 slits/cm. That is,
d = 0.01 / 2000
d = 5 x m
The wavelength λ = (700 - 400) nm
λ = 300 x m
To calculate how many full spectral orders that can be seen (400 to 700 nm) when it is illuminated by white light, we will use the below formula
SinФ = nλ / d
Φ = (nλ / d)
When n = 1
Φ = (300 x
/ 5 x
)
Φ = 3.4 degrees
when n = 2
Φ = (2 x 300 x
/ 5 x
)
Ф = 6.9 degrees
When n = 3
Ф = (3 x 300 x
/ 5 x
)
When n = 16
Ф = (16 x 300 x
/ 5 x
)
Ф = (0.96)
Ф = 73.7 degrees
when n = 17
Ф = (17 x 300 x
/ 5 x
)
Ф = (1.05)
Ф = Error ( that is, it does not exist)
Therefore, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.
