What causes the formation of beats in sounds?
- A Dispersion
- B Reflection
- C Refraction
- D Interference
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Interference
Step-by-step Solution

- A stationary source of sound A is producing sound of frequency \(170 \mathrm{~Hz}\). Another source of sound B producing sound of frequency \(240 \mathrm{~Hz}\) is moving towards the source A on a straight path with a uniform speed of \(20 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). An observer between A and B is moving towards the source A along the straight path \(\mathrm{BA}\). If the number of beats heard by the observer is zero, the speed of the observer is ____ \(\mathrm{ms}^{-1}\). (Speed of sound in air \(=340 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)).AP EAMCET 2017 Hard

- Two towns \(A\) and \(B\) are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every \(T\) min. A man cycling with a speed of \(20 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) from \(A\) to \(B\) notices that a bus travelling in the direction of his motion goes past him every \(18 \mathrm{~min}\) and every \(6 \mathrm{~min}\) he notices a bus travelling in the opposite direction go past him. Assuming that, the buses travel with a constant speed. Find \(T\) and the constant speed of the buses.AP EAMCET 2021 Medium
