Beats

Questions

1. In both beats and stationary waves, there are points of maximum amplitude and minimum amplitude. What difference is observed between and stationary wave?

2. Is waxing and waning a result of superposition of waves?

3. What happens to beat frequency when frequency difference between the waves increases?

4. What happens to beat frequency when n₁ = n₂?

Note :

Questions given above may be visualized and solved using the simulations, obtaining a mathematical solution is to be always treated as the final answer.

Such a mathematical solution implies that you are able to understand and apply the concept.
