1 Wave interference and Beat Frequency
And you

2 Wave interference

3

4 BEATS Periodic and repeating fluctuations heard in the intensity of a sound when two sound waves of similar frequencies interfere with each other.

5 Multiple frequency interference (music when a mathematical relationship is present)

6

7 The beat frequency = the difference in the frequency of the two notes.
Ex: 2 sound waves with 256 and 254 Hz are played at the same time, a beat frequency of 2 Hz will be detected.

8 Destructive interference =
peak1 + trough2 = cancel out = 0 amplitude = no sound Constructive interference = peak1 + peak2 = double amplitude = double the sound (also with trough and trough)

9 pHET simulation with questions
