Two vibrating tuning forks producing progressive waves given by y1 = 4 sin 500 pt; y2 = 2 sin 506pt are held near the ear of a person. If number of beats heard/sec be B and ratio of maximum to minimum intensity be A, then –
A
B = 3, A = 2
B
B = 3, A = 9
C
B = 6, A = 2
D
B = 6, A = 9
Answer
B = 3, A = 9
Explanation
Solution
y1 = 4 sin 500 pt, y2 = 2 sin 506pt
B = 253 – 250 = 3, a1 = 4, a2 = 2
A = = (4−2)2(4+2)2
