  • When two waves of almost equal frequencies n_1 and n_2 reach at a point simultaneously, what is the time interval between successive maxima?

When two waves of almost equal frequencies n1 and n2 reach at a point simultaneously, what is the time interval between successive maxima?

Answers (1)

Since the frequencies of vibrations are almost equal n_{1}=n_{2}

Assuming that n_{1}>n_{2} number of  beats per second=n =n_{2}-n_{1} 

So time period of maxima or beats

\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{n_{2}-n_{1}}
