Q115 / 120 · VITEEE 2013 · Physics
When two waves of almost equal frequency $\mathrm{n}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{n}_{2}$ are produced simultaneously, then the time interval between succesive maxima is
- A$\frac{1}{n_{1}+n_{2}}$
- B$\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}$
- C$\frac{1}{n_{1}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}}$
- Correct answerD$\frac{1}{n_{1}-n_{2}}$
Solution
Time interval between two suecessive maxima $=$ time interval between two successive beats $=\frac{1}{n_{1}-n_{2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
