When two sounds of slightly different frequencies superimpose, the resultant sound consists of alternate waxing and waxing. This phenomenon is called beats

  • when two sound waves slightly difference in freaquency are moving in same direction suppose they overlap with each other then the resultant displacement changes from (maximum to minimum ) or (minimum to maximum).
  • one maximum,one minimum is called one beat.
  • fbeat=f2-f1
