Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Definition: Beats
The variation in intensity of sound with time at a particular position, due to the principle of superposition of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies, is called beats.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Definition: Phenomenon of Beats
The periodic variation of intensity of sound between maximum and minimum due to superimposition of two sound waves of same amplitude and slightly different frequencies is called the phenomenon of beats.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Definition: Waxing
The maximum intensity point produced during the formation of beats is called waxing.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Definition: Waning
The minimum intensity point produced during the formation of beats is called waning.
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Formula: Beat Frequency
The number of beats formed per second is expressed as ∣v1 − v2∣, i.e., either (v1 − v2) or (v2 − v1), where v1 and v2 are frequencies of the two sound waves.
N = n1 − n2
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Formula: Beat Period
The beat period is the reciprocal of beat frequency:
T = \[\frac{1}{n_1-n_2}\] or T = \[\frac{1}{|v_1-v_2|}\]
Maharashtra State Board: Class 11
Key Points: Beats
- Beats are formed when two waves of same amplitude but slightly different frequencies superimpose.
- Waxing and waning are alternatively produced.
- The greater the difference in frequency between the two waves, the higher the beat frequency.
