Question

Two tuning forks having frequencies of 460 and 464 Hz are struck simultaneously. What average frequency will you hear, and what will the beat frequency be

Answer 1

462Hz, 4Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

The average frequency heard would be 462 Hz because that is the average between the two and we do not hear one note more than another so the average is 462 Hz. (460+464)/2 = 462Hz. The beat frequency is basically the difference between frequencies, so our beat frequency is 464-460=4Hz.

Hope this helped!
