The figure above represents the trace on the screen of cathode ray oscilloscope. The screen is graduated in centimeters. The spot on the screen moves horizontally with a constant speed of 0.5 centimeter/millisecond and the vertical scale is 2 volts/centimeter. The signal is a superposition of two oscillations. Which of the following are most nearly the observed amplitude and frequency of these two oscillations?

The graph shows one big λ consists of 6 small λs.
λbig ≈ 6 cm
λsmall ≈ 1 cm
v = λf
Given: v = 0.5 cm/ms
fbig = v/λb = 0.5 cm/(6 cm ms) = 1/ (12 ms) = 103/(12 s) = 83 Hz (Osc. 1)
fsmall = v/λs = 0.5 cm/(1 cm ms) = 1/ (2 ms) = 103/(2 s) = 500 Hz (Osc. 2)
Answer: D
