Two waves of frequencies 500 Hz and 504 Hz interfere to produce beats. How many beats are heard in 10 seconds?

Given: Two waves of frequencies 500 Hz and 504 Hz interfere to produce beats. How many beats are heard in 10 seconds? Formula: Beat frequency: v_{beat = v_1 - v_2 = 504 - 500 = 4 Hz. Substitution & Calculation: Beats in 10 s: 4 × 10 = 40 . Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
