Waves produced by two tuning forks are given by $y_1 = 4Sin500pt and y_2 = 2Sin506pt.$ . The number of beats produced per minute is …….
On comparing $y_1 = 4 sin 500 \pi t with y1 = A sin \omega_1 t$ $ we get \omega_1 = 2 \pi f_1 = 500 \pi \Rightarrow f_1 = 250 Hz $ $ Similarly y_2 = 2 sin 506 \pi t $ $ \therefore \omega_2 = 2 \pi f_2 = 506 \pi \Rightarrow f_2 = 253 Hz$ $ \therefore Freq. of beats = f_2 -f_1 = 3 $ $ \therefore No.of beats heard per minute = 3 \times 60 = 180 $
