    Beat frequency is equal to the difference between two interfering frequencies. The speed of sound is calculated as the elastic modulus divided by the density, and solids have a much greater elastic modulus than gases. Therefore, the speed of sound is much greater in solids, so an observer will sense ground tremors from an explosion before hearing the sound.

    Physics (Chapter 08)

    Question:8.8

    Since beat frequency is the equal to the difference of individual interfering frequency

    Beat frequency f1-f2

    Question:8.9

    Explanation:

    The speed of sound is given as:

    V=E/P

    Since the speed of sound in solids is much greater than the speed of sound in gases due to
    much greater value of elastic modulus. That is why the observer senses the ground tremor

    First than hears the explosion.
