Two loudspeakers placed next to each other each emit a pure tone with the same amplitude. One speaker emits a tone with a frequency of 473.0 Hz, the other with a frequency of 480.0 Hz.
A distant listener perceives a pure tone that has a single frequency, but varies in loudness with a perceived "beat."
(a)
