Objective:
– To illustrate the production of beats.
Apparatus:
- Tuning forks on resonance cases
- Clamp
- Rubber hammer
Method:
The procedure is identical to DVW7, except that the clamp is adjusted to a slightly different frequency then that of the other fork. The difference between the frequencies is detected as the “Beat” frequency.
