    Two sound waves with wavelengths 5.0 m and 5.5m respectively, each propagates in a gas with velocity 330 m/s. We expect the following. number of beats per second:

    A)  12                               

    B)  0                         

    C)  1                                

    D)  6

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Let\[{{\lambda }_{1}}=5.0\,m,\,v=330\,m/s\] and \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=5.5\,m\] The relation between frequency, wavelength and velocity is given by \[v=n\lambda \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[n=\frac{v}{\lambda }\]                                                (i) The frequency corresponding to wavelength \[{{\lambda }_{1}},\] \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{v}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=\frac{330}{5.0}=66\,Hz\] The frequency corresponding to wavelength\[{{\lambda }_{2}},\] \[{{n}_{2}}=\frac{v}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{330}{5.5}=60\,Hz\] Hence, no. of beats per second \[={{n}_{1}}-{{n}_{2}}=66-60=6\]
