Beat Frequency

Theory & Logic

Theoretical Background

Physics describes the fundamental mechanism of the universe. The Beat Frequency is an essential tool for understanding Beat Frequency in quantitative terms. Calculate f_beat = |f1 - f2|.

Mathematical Formulation

The relationship between the variables is governed by the following equation:

Result = Math.abs(f1 - f2)
Eq 1.1: Governing Formula

Variable Legend

Symbol Parameter Unit
f1 Freq 1 Hz
f2 Freq 2 Hz

Practical Calculation Example

Problem

Calculating the result when:

  • Freq 1 = 10 Hz
  • Freq 2 = 85 Hz

Solution

Substituting into Eq 1.1:

Result = Math.abs(10 - 85)
