Three adjacent keys on a piano (F, F-sharp, and G) are struck simultaneously, producing frequencies of 349, 370, and 392 Hz. What beat frequencies are produced by this discordant combination?

Sagot :

Answer:

21 Hz, 43 Hz and 22 Hz

Explanation:

The computation of the beat frequencies that are generated by this discordant combination is as follows:

As we know that

beat frequencies = |f_1  - f_2|

So

For the first one

= |349 Hz - 370 Hz|

= 21 Hz

For the second one

= |349 Hz - 392 Hz|

= 43 Hz

And, for the third one

= |370 Hz - 392 Hz|

= 22 Hz
