JEE Advanced · Physics · 16. Waves & Sound

Paragraph :
Two plane harmonic sound waves are expressed by the equations.
\(\begin{aligned}
& y_1(x, t)=A \cos (0.5 \pi x-100 \pi t) \\
& y_2(x, t)=A \cos (0.46 \pi x-92 \pi t)
\end{aligned}\)
(All parameters are in MKS)
Question :
How many times does an observer hear maximum intensity in one second?

  1. A 4
  2. B 10
  3. C 6
  4. D 8
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In one second number of maximas is called the beat frequency. Hence,
\(
f_b=f_1-f_2=\frac{100 \pi}{2 \pi}-\frac{92 \pi}{2 \pi}=4 \mathrm{~Hz}
