MCQ
Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by
 $y_1 = 4\,\,sin\,\,600\pi t$ and  $y_2 = 5\,\,sin\,\,608\pi t.$

An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear

  • A
    $8$  beats per second with intensity ratio $81\,\,:\,\,1$  between waxing and waning
  • $4$  beats per second with intensity ratio $81\,\,:\,\,1$  between waxing and waning
  • C
    $4$  beats per second with intensity ratio $25\,\,:\,\,16$  between waxing and waning
  • D
    $8$  beats per second with intensity ratio $25\,\,:\,\,16$  between waxing and waning

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4$  beats per second with intensity ratio $81\,\,:\,\,1$  between waxing and waning
b
$f_{1}=300$

$\mathrm{f}_{2}=304$

$\therefore \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{beat}}=\mathrm{f}_{2}-\mathrm{f}_{1}=304-300=4$

intensity ratio $=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\max }}{\mathrm{I}_{\min }}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{\max }^{2}}{\mathrm{A}_{\min }^{2}}=\frac{(4+5)^{2}}{(5-4)^{2}}=\frac{81}{1}$
