Concept explainers
To explain: If the two flute frequencies are getting closer or far apart.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The beat frequency is the magnitude of difference between frequencies of two different waves.
Assume the frequency of the two flutes to be
Since the beat frequency is increasing, it implies that the difference between the two frequencies is also increasing. Hence, the two frequencies are getting far apart.
Conclusion:
Since the beat frequency is increasing, the two frequencies are getting far apart.
