Question: Assertion : To hear distinct beats, difference in frequencies of two sources should be less than 10. Reason : More the number of beats per sec more difficult to hear them.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
According to the property of persistence of hearing, the impression of a sound heard persists on our mind for $ \frac{1}{10} $ sec.
Therefore, number of beats per sec should be less than 10.
Hence difference in frequencies of two sources must be less than 10.
