Abstract

wave interference signal frequencies
A method to demonstrate interference and beats using two audio signal generators, a stereo audio system, and an optional dual-trace oscilloscope is presented. This method is well suited to large lectures because the sound is loud, it can be continued for an indefinite period of time, and the effect can be adjusted during the demonstration.
