(a) Define the phenomenon of beats as observed in sound. (b) Explain, on the basis of superposition of waves, why the loudness of the resultant sound alternately waxes and wanes when two sources of slightly different frequencies are sounded together. (c) State the relation between the number of beats heard per second and the frequencies of the two sources producing them.
