| contents | We present a new simple experimental setup for demonstrating beat phenomenon. We have combined two amplitude-modulated light beams on a solar cell using two smartphones as signal generators and a third smartphone as an oscilloscope to visualize the resulting wave beats. A very good agreement is obtained between the theoretical model and the experimental result. It is an innovative approach to bring physics experimentation to the students and discover the potential possibilities of smartphones in basic physics courses. |
