Beats are caused by the interaction of two waves with different periods. The Waves crests do not line up every oscillation, but when they do, they have a much larger than normal crest, which results in an observable beat.

How do beats help determine whether two sound waves are the same frequency?

A sound known as a "beat frequency" will be heard when two sounds of almost (but not quite) the same frequency are mixed together. This is commonly heard when tuning a stringed instrument (such as a guitar) into itself, or when tuning to a standard pitch generator. If the string is vibrating at exactly the same frequency as the standard, then no beat frequency is heard. If the string is vibrating at a just slightly different frequency from the standard, then the interference between the two sounds is heard as a regular "beat". The frequency of the beat is exactly equal to the difference between the two frequencies i.e. if the standard is 440 Hz and the string is vibrating at 441 Hz, then a beat frequency of 1 Hz will be heard.


What causes sideband frequency?

If you subtract from the carrier frequency the frequency of the tone that modulates it, then filter out the carrier frequency, then you have a lower sideband frequency. If you add to the carrier frequency, filter out the carrier, then you have an upper sideband frequency.
