Calculating Beat Frequency of 3 Frequencies

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the beat frequency of three frequencies, such as 200 Hz, 206 Hz, and 209 Hz, the beat frequency is determined by finding the absolute differences between each pair of frequencies. The relevant equation is Fb = abs(F1 - F2). Possible combinations include calculating the differences between 200 Hz and 206 Hz, 200 Hz and 209 Hz, and 206 Hz and 209 Hz. The resulting beat frequencies from these combinations will provide insight into the overall beat frequency. Clarification on the term "possible combination" was requested, indicating some confusion about the calculation process.

Can you clarify what you meant by 'possible combination?'

thanx alot
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
