What is the beat frequency produced when a tuning fork of a frequency of 256 Hz and a tuning fork of a frequency of 512 Hz are struck simultaneously? The particles can be modeled as a “wave packet” that results from the superposition of various waves, where the particle moves at the “group velocity” of the wave packet.
When two sound waves that differ in frequency interfere, beats are created with a beat frequency that is equal to the absolute value of the difference in the sound wave frequencies.
