Thus a beat is the basic time unit of a piece; when you tap your foot to music, each tap is a beat.
If two people tap their feet to the same music but one taps twice as fast as the other, neither is wrong; one may simply be considered on a higher or lower level than the beat level.
Much music is characterised by a sequence of stressed and unstressed beats (often called "strong" and "weak") organised into a meter and partially indicated by a time signature, the speed of which is determined by a tempo.
