Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect called when two sound waves of slightly different frequencies interfere?
  • Step 1: Understand that sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air.
  • Step 2: Know that sound waves can have different frequencies, which means they vibrate at different speeds.
  • Step 3: When two sound waves with slightly different frequencies meet, they interact with each other.
  • Step 4: This interaction causes the sound to go louder and softer in a regular pattern.
  • Step 5: This pattern of changing loudness is called 'beats'.
