Video Transcript

to solve this question. Uh, way We can use a simple formula for beat frequency which is equal to frequency one minus frequency to absolute value. So one frequencies 1 99 holds other frequencies to 03 hoods. So absolute difference between them is just four votes. So it means that we will hear beats per her one over fourth off seconds because this will be a time period for the beach. So everyone quarter off seconds or in one second we will hear four beats. So how that happens. It's simple, because one way of as 1 99 votes off frequency and other wave is bitch more conduct condensed, which is 203 hurts. So this way of oscillates 1 99 times in one seconds, This one oscillates in 203 hoods in one seconds. So there will be four moments in one seconds where the amplitude Sze match up and you hear the beat. Thank you
