When a sound wave with a frequency of 256 Hz overlaps with a sound wave with a frequency of 250 Hz what would the frequency of the beats be?

There should be two beat frequencies produced: 506 Hz and 6 Hz.

A frequency of one sound wave per second is called?
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
Why do foghorns use low frequency sound?
I think it might be so it is heard over a longer range than if it were a high frequency, where it would die out.
What are three properties of waves?
There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.
Does sound travel faster in high pressure or low pressure?
Sound travels best when it's in something which is tight - consider the "telephone" using two cups and a piece of string. When you warm anything up, it becomes more "loose" as the molecules become excited. (Ice is hard until you melt it. Tar is pretty stiff unless you heat it up.) So it follows that sound would travel *better* in a cold environment. There would be better transmission of the wave from one molecule to the next, and the molecules would typically be closer together, so it would theoretically travel a little faster. However, if the medium is air, this also depends hugely on the air pressure. As the pressure decreases, the molecules become more sparse (less dense), and it's more difficult for an affected molecule to pass on the waveform. So sound at the top of Everest may not travel as quickly as sound in the middle of the desert, despite the obvious temperature difference.
Does copper wire conduct sound?
Since sound is the effect of vibrations in a media, copper can definitely conduct sound. However, as a wire it would have a certain damping factor, much a like spring, that would absorb the energy of sound vibrations. So a sheet of copper would conduct sound, but a thin wire would not.
A high frequency sound will be heard as A. a sonic boom B. beats C. very loud volume D. high pitch?
that would be high pitch

Is dubstep bad for your beats pro?
No, the Beats heaphones are designed for low frequency sounds. I would be more concerned with your hearing than the drivers in the headphones.
What could an observable change in sounds when the frequency change?
The so-called pitch of the sound would change. A sound with a higher frequency is said to have a higher pitch.
If the speed of sound depended on frequency how would distant music sound?
it would press seven and then die :\
What is a sound with frequency greater than 20000 hz?
the sound would be called "ultrasound"
If a sound had a high amplitude and high frequency what would it sound like?
The sound would be like thunder, since thunder also has high amplitudes and frequency also. Usually at the begining of thunder you will listen cracking (krat..kat..krat .........) sound which is high frequency and high pitch. At the time when thundering is almost stop you will listen the heavy /bass sound which is very high amplitude and low frequency (goom.goom....goom...........) sound.
What would the beat frequency be if you added tones of 880 Hz and 882 Hz?
The number of beats that we hear per second is the beat frequency. It is equal to the difference in the frequencies of the two notes. In this case: Beat frequency = 882 Hz - 880 Hz = 2 Hz. This means that we will hear the sound getting louder and softer 2 times per second.
A frequency of one sound wave per second is called?
Frequency is related by 1/Time. The unit is hertz (hz). One sound wave a second would yield a frequency of 1 hz.
What is another word for the pitch of a sound?
Frequency would be the word your looking for.
Do all frequencies of sound travel with the same velocity?
Yes, they do. The frequency of a sound doesn't effect the speed at which it moves; i.e. approx 330meters per second (through air). For example; a sound with a frequency of 600Hz has the same velocity as a sound with frequency 300Hz, the difference being that the sound at 300Hz would have half as many wavelengths in the same distance from source as the sound at 600Hz.
