Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When two sounds of nearly the same frequency get together they will alternately add up or cancel out. If they start out together, after a while they will no longer be together, and the peak of the one will meet a trough of the other and they will cancel. The resulting fluctuations are known as beats. The beat frequency is just the difference of the two frequencies. The students will observe and experiment with beats generated by sounding an 880 tuning fork at the same time as an 883 tuning fork.
