The correct Answer is:
To find the number of beats produced per second when two sound waves with wavelengths \( \lambda_1 = 100 \, \text{cm} \) and \( \lambda_2 = 110 \, \text{cm} \) superimpose, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Wavelengths to Meters The given wavelengths are in centimeters, so we need to convert them to meters. \[ \lambda_1 = 100 \, \text{cm} = 100 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} = 1.00 \, \text{m} \] \[ \lambda_2 = 110 \, \text{cm} = 110 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} = 1.10 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 2: Calculate Frequencies The frequency \( f \) of a wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \] where \( v \) is the velocity of sound. Given \( v = 330 \, \text{m/s} \): For \( \lambda_1 \): \[ f_1 = \frac{330 \, \text{m/s}}{1.00 \, \text{m}} = 330 \, \text{Hz} \] For \( \lambda_2 \): \[ f_2 = \frac{330 \, \text{m/s}}{1.10 \, \text{m}} = 300 \, \text{Hz} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Beats The number of beats produced per second is given by the difference in frequencies: \[ \text{Number of beats} = |f_1 - f_2| \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \text{Number of beats} = |330 \, \text{Hz} - 300 \, \text{Hz}| = 30 \, \text{beats per second} \] ### Final Answer The number of beats produced per second is \( 30 \, \text{beats per second} \). ---
