- 4 beats per second with intensity ratio 25 : 16 between waxing and waning
- 8 beats per second with intensity ratio 25 : 16 between waxing and waning
- 8 beats per second with intensity ratio 81 : 1 between waxing and waning
- 4 beats per second with intensity ratio 81 : 1 between waxing and waning

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is D:4 beats per second with intensity ratio \(81\ratio 1\) between waxing and waning
Comparing with \(y _{1}= a _{1} \sin 2 \pi f _{1} t\)
and \(y _{2}= a _{2} \sin 2 \pi f _{2} t\)
we get \(f_1 =300\, Hz,\, f _{2}=304\, Hz\)
Number of beats \(= f _{2}- f _{1}=4\, s ^{-1}\)
\(\frac{ I _{\max }}{ I _{\min }}=\left(\frac{ a _{1}+ a _{2}}{ a _{1}- a _{2}}\right)^{2}\)
\(=\frac{ I _{\max }}{ I _{\min }}=\left(\frac{4+5}{4-5}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{1}\)
Comparing with \(y _{1}= a _{1} \sin 2 \pi f _{1} t\)
and \(y _{2}= a _{2} \sin 2 \pi f _{2} t\)
we get \(f_1 =300\, Hz,\, f _{2}=304\, Hz\)
Number of beats \(= f _{2}- f _{1}=4\, s ^{-1}\)
\(\frac{ I _{\max }}{ I _{\min }}=\left(\frac{ a _{1}+ a _{2}}{ a _{1}- a _{2}}\right)^{2}\)
\(=\frac{ I _{\max }}{ I _{\min }}=\left(\frac{4+5}{4-5}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{1}\)

Concepts Used:
Beats
What is Beat Frequency?
Let’s see from fig.m, the frequency of a pink-colored wave is f1, and that of a green-colored wave is f2. So, the frequency of the beat is the difference between these two, which is:
fBEATS = |f1 - f2|
Interference and Beats
When two or more waves travelling in a medium meet, the resulting phenomenon is called interference and beats are an excellent example of the phenomenon of interference.
