  • question_answer
    The wavelength of two waves are 50 and 51 cm respectively. If the temperature of the room is \[20{}^\circ C\] then what will be the number of beats produced per second by these waves, when the speed of sound at \[0{}^\circ C\] is 332 m/s?

    A)  24

    B)  14

    C) 10

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{\lambda }_{1}}=50cm.\] \[{{\lambda }_{2}}=51\,cm.\] \[v\propto \sqrt{T}\Rightarrow \frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{273+20}{273}}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,{{v}_{2}}=319.23.\] \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{{{v}_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{1}}}=\frac{319.23}{0.50}=640Hz\] \[{{v}_{2}}=\frac{{{v}_{2}}}{{{\lambda }_{2}}}=\frac{319.23}{51\times {{10}^{-2}}}=625.94=626Hz.\] No. of beats \[={{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}=14Hz\]
