$Y_{1}=4 \sin (500 \pi t), Y_{2}=2 \sin (506 \pi t)$
$\mathrm{n}_{1}=250 \mathrm{\,Hz}, \mathrm{n}_{2}=253 \mathrm{\,Hz}$
No. of Beats $=n_{1}-n_{2}=3$
$\mathrm{I}_{1} \propto 16, \mathrm{I}_{2} \propto 4$
$\frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }}=\frac{(\sqrt{I_{1}}+\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}}{(\sqrt{I_{1}}-\sqrt{I_{2}})^{2}}=\left(\frac{4+2}{4-2}\right)^{2}=\left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^{2}=9$

- 5$S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti-clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} ms ^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $O P$.View Solution
