Two sources of sound placed close to each other are emitting progressive waves given by $y_1 = 4 \sin(600\pi t)$ and $y_2 = 5 \sin(608\pi t)$. An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear:

  • A
    $4$ beats per second with intensity ratio $25 : 16$ between waxing and waning.
  • B
    $8$ beats per second with intensity ratio $25 : 16$ between waxing and waning.
  • C
    $8$ beats per second with intensity ratio $81 : 1$ between waxing and waning.
  • D
    $4$ beats per second with intensity ratio $81 : 1$ between waxing and waning.

$5\, \text{beats/second}$ are heard when a tuning fork is sounded with a sonometer wire under tension, when the length of the sonometer wire is either $0.95\, \text{m}$ or $1\, \text{m}$. The frequency of the fork will be ... $\text{Hz}$.

There are three sources of sound of equal intensities with frequencies $101 \, Hz$,$103 \, Hz$,and $106 \, Hz$. What is the beat frequency heard if all are sounded simultaneously (in $, Hz$)?

When a tuning fork produces sound waves in air,which one of the following remains the same in the material of the tuning fork as well as in the air?

Two sitar strings $A$ and $B$ playing the note '$Ga$' are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency $6 \; Hz$. The tension in the string $A$ is slightly reduced and the beat frequency is found to reduce to $3 \; Hz$. If the original frequency of $A$ is $324 \; Hz$,what is the frequency (in $Hz$) of $B$?

Two waves $y_1 = 0.35 \sin(316 t)$ and $y_2 = 0.35 \sin(310 t)$ are propagating along the same direction. The number of beats produced per second is:
