Two instruments produce a beat frequency of 5 Hz. If one has a frequency of 264 Hz, what could be the frequency of the other instrument

259 Hz or 269 Hz

Explanation:

Beat: This is the phenomenon obtained when two notes of nearly equal frequency are sounded together. The S.I unit of beat is Hertz (Hz).

From the question,

Beat = f₂-f₁ Equation 1

Note: The frequency of the other instrument is either f₁ or f₂.

If the unknown instrument's frequency is f₁,

Then,

f₁ = f₂-beat equation 2

Given: f₂ = 264 Hz, Beat = 5 Hz

Substitute into equation 2

f₁ = 264-5

f₁ = 259 Hz.

But if the unknown frequency is f₂,

Then,

f₂ = f₁+Beat Equation 3

f₂ = 264+5

f₂ = 269 Hz.

Hence the beat could be 259 Hz or 269 Hz

answer is c

explanation:

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
