Answer #2

Solution: Calculating the Beat Frequency

Formula for Beat Frequency:

fbeat=∣f1−f2∣f_{\text{beat}} = |f_1 - f_2|

Step 1: Assign Values

  • f1=352 Hzf_1 = 352 \, \text{Hz}

  • f2=357 Hzf_2 = 357 \, \text{Hz}

Step 2: Calculate Beat Frequency

fbeat=∣357−352∣=5 Hzf_{\text{beat}} = |357 - 352| = 5 \, \text{Hz}

Final Answer:

The beat frequency is 5 Hz.\text{The beat frequency is } 5 \, \text{Hz.}

Correct option: (b) 5 Hz.
