MCQ
When two waves of almost equal frequency $n_1$ and $n_2$ are produced simultaneously, then the time interval between successive maxima is:
  • $\frac{1}{\text{n}_1-\text{n}_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\text{n}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{n}_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\text{n}_1}+\frac{1}{\text{n}_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\text{n}_1+\text{n}_2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{\text{n}_1-\text{n}_2}$
Time interval between two successive maxima $=$ time interval between two successive beats
$=\frac{1}{\text{n}}=\frac{1}{\text{n}_1-\text{n}_2}$
