Beats are formed. The number of beats heard in one second will be equal to the difference in frequencies. If the difference is 4, then 4 beats will be heard in one second. If 1/4 is the difference in frequencies then 1 beat will be heard in every 4 second.

When two identical waves superimposed then what changes occurs?
The amplitude of the wave changes.
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
speed
What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?
destructive interference
Why refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The change in wave speed causes refraction sinv1/v1 = sinv2/v2.
When two identical waves superimposed then what changes occurs?
The amplitude of the wave changes.
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
When are ocean waves dangerous?
When the get really big; these are called Rogue Waves: this phenomenon occurs when the Wave Actions Combine.
What occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
If a pulse "interferes" with another pulse, they build each other up to form supercrests or supertroughs. This process is known as constructive interference.
Refraction of a sound wave occurs when a wave passes at an angle from one medium into another in which the of the wave is different?
speed
Occurs when the crest of one wave overlaps the trough of another wave?
They get canceled out if they have the same magnitude.
What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave overlaps the crest of another wave?
constructive interference
Sometimes waves interfere with one another. What type of interference occurs when the crests of one wave and the troughs of another wave overlap?
destructive interference
Why refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?

When the crest of one wave passes through the trough of another wave takes place.?
Destructive interference takes place. Constructive interference occurs when the trough of one wave passes through the crest of another wave
Distinguish between constructive interference and destructive interference?
Constructive interferences occur when two waves combine (add up) by the superpostition principle. Destructive interferences occur when the crest of one wave interferes with the trough of another. Amplitudes are subtracted.
When the high part of one wave fills in the low part of another wave constructive interference occurs True or False?
False
