Jerimiah is studying Wave A and Wave B. Wave A is traveling at 3 hertz, and Wave B is traveling at 1.2 hertz. What can be predicted about the waves if they were to crash into each other?

Step-by-step explanation:

When two waves of equal amplitude but slightly different frequencies crash, they give rise to a wave whose amplitude varies with time, this wave oscillates with the average frequency of the two waves that generated it. In sound waves, these amplitude variations will be perceived as variations in loudness, that is, periodic increases or decreases in intensity.
