Two sources of sound placed close to each other, are emitting progressive waves given by
$y_1=4 \sin 600 \pi t \text { and } y_2=5 \sin 608 \pi t$
An observer located near these two sources of sound will hear
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
Solution
Given, $y_1=4 \sin 600 \pi t$ and $y_2=5 \sin 608 \pi t$
Comparing with general equation $y=a \sin 2 \pi f t$
we get, $f_2=300 \mathrm{~Hz}$ and $f_2=304 \mathrm{~Hz}$
Number of beats $=f_2-f_1=4 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$
$\begin{aligned}
\frac{I_{\max }}{I_{\min }} & =\left(\frac{a_1+a_2}{a_1-a_2}\right)^2 \\
& =\left(\frac{4+5}{4-5}\right)^2=\frac{81}{1}
\end{aligned}$
