Draw graphs of beats produced by two harmonic waves of frequency $11 \ Hz$ and $9 \ Hz$.
(N/A) The time-displacement graphs of two waves of frequency $11 \ Hz$ and $9 \ Hz$ are shown in figure $(a)$ and $(b)$.
The result of their superposition is shown in figure $(c)$.
Beats are the periodic variation in intensity at a given point due to the superposition of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. The beat frequency is given by $f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2| = |11 \ Hz - 9 \ Hz| = 2 \ Hz$. This means there are $2$ beats per second.

View SolutionTwo identical straight wires are stretched so as to produce $6$ beats per second when vibrating simultaneously. On changing the tension in one of them,the beat frequency remains unchanged. Denoting by ${T_1}$ and ${T_2}$ the higher and the lower initial tensions in the strings,respectively,then it could be said that while making the above change in tension:

When the temperature of the air column decreases,the number of beats per second decreases. When the temperature is $16^{\circ} C$,only one beat per second is produced. The frequency of the tuning fork is ........... $Hz$.
