A riverside warehouse has two open doors, as shown in the figure below. Its interior is lined with a sound-absorbing material. A boat on the river sounds its horn. To person A, the sound is loud and clear. To person B, the sound is barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is 2.70 m. Assuming person B is at the position of the first minimum, determine the distance (in m) between the doors, center to center.**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram shows a top view of the riverside setup. On the left side, there is a boat on the river emitting sound waves. These waves are indicated by several curved lines emanating from the boat.To the right of the boat, there is a rectangular outline representing the warehouse. It has two open doors through which sound can pass. Inside the warehouse, two paths of sound are shown with dashed lines:1. One path leads from the open door, straight to person A.2. The second path, marked with a longer dashed line, leads to person B.**Distance Details:**- The distance between the two open doors is indicated as 150 m.- Person B is positioned 20.0 m beyond person A, along the warehouse front.A label indicating a blank measurement box is present below the diagram, intended for the calculation result.

Given data: Wavelength of sound wave, λ=2.50 m AB = 20.0 m Distance between door and screen, D=150 m

The back wall of an auditorium is 26.0 m from the stage. If you are seated in the middle row, how much time elapses between a sound from the stage reaching your ear directly and the same sound reaching your ear after reflecting from the back wall?
Two loudspeakers are mounted on a rack, one h = 2.74 m above the other. Exactly 8.00 meters to the right of the midpoint, a microphone rests at point O. Point O is equally distant from each loudspeaker. The loudspeakers are driven by the same tone generator and vibrate in phase at 390 Hz. It is possible to create a condition of destructive interference at Point O by changing one or both of the path lengths (r1 and r2) between speaker and microphone. Suppose that this is done by raising the upper speaker while leaving the lower speaker in place. What is the smallest vertical distance (in m) that you would need to raise the upper speaker by, in order to create destructive interference at Point O? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.)

For testing purposes, a musical instrument manufacturing company creates a device so that when you blow into one end with your instrument, sound comes out the other end in opposite directions. A sound technician uses a whistle and generates sound waves with a frequency of 200 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a sound studio, are reflected by end walls, and return. The studio is 50.0 m long and the whistle is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference (in degrees) between the reflected waves when they meet at the source of the sound? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
