JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Beats

  • question_answer
    An unknown frequency x produces 8 beats per seconds with a frequency of 250 Hz and 12 beats with 270 Hz source, then x is                                             [CPMT 1997; KCET  2000]

    A)            258 Hz                                     

    B)            242 Hz

    C)            262 Hz                                     

    D)            282 Hz

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Since source of frequency x gives 8 beats per second with frequency 250 Hz, it's possible frequency are 258 or 242. As source of frequency x gives 12 beats per second with a frequency 270 Hz, it's possible frequencies 282 or 258 Hz. The only possible frequency of x which gives 8 beats with frequency 250 Hz also 12 beats per second with 258 Hz.
