Question

Explain applications of beats.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Beats : The physical effect of superposition of two or more wave is called interference.The phenomena of beats is an example of interference in time.

Application of beats:1) Beats are used in tuning musical instruments.

2)Beats can be used to adjust the vibrating length between the two bridges,in Sonometer Experiment.

3)Beats can be used to find the frequency of the given tuning fork.

4)Beats can be used in detection of harmful gases in mines.

Answer 2

Applications of beats:

• Beats are the phenomenon. When two waves of comparable wave length come closer and overlap with each other, forming the alternate bands of high amplitude and low amplitude.
• Beats are used in physics instruments like sonometer to adjust the technical things like the distance between two bridges.
• It is used in wired instruments like sitar, guitar to give some effects in music, etc.
• Beats are also used to determine the frequency of a tuning fork.
