Question
Two tuning forks having frequencies of 460 and 464 $\mathrm{Hz}$ are struck simultaneously. What average frequency will you hear, and what will the beat frequency be?
Step 1
The formula for average frequency is given by $f_{avg} = \frac{f_1 + f_2}{2}$, where $f_1$ and $f_2$ are the frequencies of the two tuning forks. Show more…
