If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.

This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

Answer:

f1= -350cm or -3.5m

f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m

Explanation:

A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.

Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.
