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 ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the time interval between successive maxima when two waves of almost equal frequencies \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) reach a point simultaneously, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of beats When two waves of slightly different frequencies interfere, they produce a phenomenon known as beats. The beat frequency is given by the absolute difference of the two frequencies: \[ f_{\text{beats}} = |n_1 - n_2| \] ...

Mean solar day is the time interval between two successive noon when sun passes through zenith point (meridian). Sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transit of a distant star through the zenith point (meridian). By drawing appropriate diagram showing the earth's spin and orbital motion, show that mean solar day is 4 min longer than the sidereal day. In other words, distant stars would rise 4 min early every successive day.
