Two sound waves with wavelengths $5.0\, m$ and $5.5\, m$ respectively,each propagate in a gas with velocity $330\, m/s$. We expect the following number of beats per second.

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $12$

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by ${y_1} = 4\,\sin \left( {500\pi t} \right)$ and ${y_2} = 2\,\sin \left( {506\pi t} \right)$. These tuning forks are held near the ear of a person. The person will hear $\alpha \, \text{beats/s}$ with intensity ratio between maxima and minima equal to $\beta$. Find the value of $\beta - \alpha$.
