Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by $y_1 = 4 \sin(500 \pi t)$ and $y_2 = 2 \sin(506 \pi t)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear

  • A
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • B
    $3 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.
  • C
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $4$.
  • D
    $6 \text{ beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $9$.
