Question

Two second waves of equal intensity I produce beats. The maximum intensity of sound produced in beats will be

Solution

Correct option is

4I

 

When two waves of amplitudes a1 and a2 superpose to produce beats, the resultant amplitude of the maxima of intensity is 

                                

Now, intensity ∝ (amplitude)2. Since the two waves have the same intensity, their amplitudes are equal, i.e., a1 = a2 = a. Thus A = 2a. Therefore A2 = 4a2 or Imax = 4I.
