Go slowly. Ask why. Make it yours.
PRACTICE / Beats
A slow envelope from two nearby tones
Two stationary tuning forks produce tones of 256 Hz and 260 Hz.
How many beats per second are heard?
Organize the givens & assumptions
- f₁ = 256 Hz
- f₂ = 260 Hz
Two steady nearby frequencies reaching a stationary listener in a linear medium; audible superposition.
- A
- B
- C
- D
