Beat is produced when two waves of nearby frequencies superimpose when they travel in the same path. This causes a periodic variation of intensity of the resultant wave.
The beat frequency is the number of beats produced per second.
Beat Frequency Formula:
The formula for beat frequency is the difference in frequency of the two superimposed waves.
fb =|f2−f1|
f1 and f2 are the frequency of two waves
