Explanation The expression to calculate the beats is, f beat = | f 1 − f 2 | Here, f 1 is the frequency of one interfering wave. f 2 is the frequency of second interfering wave. Beats occurs when the waves of slightly different frequencies interfere. In the piano the keys along the minor chords and major chords produce same frequency of the sound waves

Equation of Waves

Wave is an oscillation or disturbance traveling in a medium. It performs the transportation of energy but does not carry any matter. This motion of waves will transport fuel in a medium without permanent transfer of mass (particle).

P 18-28 page-559 Refer to the figure below where the attached mass m hangs from a cord around a pulley, with m= 5.00 kg. The length of the cord between point P and the pulley is L = 2.00 m. The vibrator is set to a frequency of 150 Hz and a standing wave of six loops is formed, as shown in the figure above. (a) Determine the linear mass density of the string. (b) How many loops (if any) will result if the mass m is changed to 45 kg? (c) How many loops (if any) will result if the mass m is changed to 10 kg?
