Beats from Two Speakers

Description:

Two speakers with separate audio oscillators produce beats.


Procedure or Operation Notes:

The Pasco function generators default to 1kHz when they are turned on. Slowly turn the frequency adjustment knob on one generator (leaving the other at 1 kHz) to produce an audible beat frequency.

Power the generator off and on again to return it to the 1 kHz default frequency. While the two generators are at the same frequency, they are out of phase (which the human ear is unable to distinguish).
