    Which of the following is true regarding beats?

    A)  Frequency different, amplitude same

    B)  Frequency same, amplitude same

    C)  Frequency same, amplitude different

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     When two sound waves of slightly different frequencies, travelling in a medium along the same direction, superimpose on each other, the intensity of the resultant sound at a particular position rises and falls alternately with time. This phenomenon of alternate variation in the intensity of sound with time at a particular position, when two sound waves of nearly equal frequencies and same amplitude superimpose on each other is called beats.
