Answer

Correct option: D.

Superposition of two waves of nearly equal frequency

d
(d) Beats is the superposition of two waves of nearly equal frequencies. When the two tones are close in pitch but not identical, the difference in frequency generates the beating The volume varies like in a tremolo as the sounds alternately interfere constructively and destructively.

A particle is projected from the ground with velocity $u$ at angle $\theta$ with horizontal. The horizontal range, maximum height and time of flight are $R, H$ and $T$ respectively. They are given by $R = \frac{{{u^2}\sin 2\theta }}{g}$, $H = \frac{{{u^2}{{\sin }^2}\theta }}{{2g}}$ and $T = \frac{{2u\sin \theta }}{g}$ Now keeping $u $ as fixed, $\theta$ is varied from $30^o$ to $60^o$.
