  • question_answer
    Beats are produced with the help of two sound waves of amplitudes 3 and 5 units. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the beats is                       [MP PMT 1999]

    A)            2 : 1                                          

    B)            5 : 3

    C)            4 : 1                                          

    D)            16 : 1

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{I}_{\max }}}{{{I}_{\min }}}={{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}}{{{a}_{1}}-{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{(5+3)}^{2}}}{{{(5-3)}^{2}}}=\frac{16}{1}\]
