AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the range of the beat frequency heard by humans, we need to understand the concept of beat frequency and the typical hearing range of humans. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Beat Frequency**: Beat frequency is the frequency that results from the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. The beat frequency (f_beat) is given by the absolute difference between the two frequencies (f1 and f2): \[ f_{beat} = |f_1 - f_2| ...

What are beats? What is beat frequency?

Two narrow organ pipes, one open (length l_(1) ) and the other closed (length l_(2) ) are sounded in their respective fundamental modes. The beat frequency heard is 5 Hz . If now the pipes are sounded in their first overtones, then also the beat frequency heard is 5 Hz . Then:

There is a source of sound (a tuning fork) moving towards a reflecting wall will a speed of 30 ms^(-1) . The velocity of the sound in air is 330 ms^(-1) and the frequency of the tuning fork is 600 Hz. The observer is between the source and the wall and is moving with some velocity V_(1) towards the wall. The beat frequency heard by the observer is 4 Hz. If the tuning fork is waxed, the frequency beats heard by the observer becomes 3 Hz. If the new frequency of tuning fork is k then k//50 is
