a) Two out-of-phase loudspeakers separated by a distance d emit 170 Hz sound waves along the X-axis. As you walk along the axis, away from the speakers, you hear only maximum intensity pitch. Assuming a sound speed of 340 m/s, what are the two first values for d for such occurrence? b) Solve the same problem as above where this time, as you move away from the two speakers, despite that they are on, you do not hear anything and there is nothing wrong with your hearing (i.e. What are the first two possible values (but different from 0) of d for you not to hear anything?).

Two audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. Speaker A is placed at head-level while Speaker B is place at some variable height, Ay, above Speaker A. Both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.759 meters. Calculate the lowest height that Speaker B can be placed above Speaker A to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing Ax = 4.50 meters directly in front of Speaker A. sy AX Image size: S M L Max
8. Three friends x,y,z are standing in a line at equal distance of 1m. Person y is standing exactly in front of the speakers with a 3m distance from the center point of the speakers. The speakers are producing signals of same frequency and are 0.8 m apart. Signals of some frequencies are horrible for y and barely audible for x and z. Find the lowest frequencies creating this effect. Assuming velocity of sound as 340m/s
L:59) (1) A point sound source is measured at 300 ft in a free field to be 60 dB. What is the sound power of the source in watts? For the point source in Question (1), how close to the source would one have to move for the level to be 70 dB?
I need help on the last two parts. Thank you!

In an acoustics lab you have a 60 m long pipe that contains very cold air, in fact T = – 46 °C. Suppose that using a speaker you cause a sinusoidal wave of sound with wavelength 1.5 m to travel down the pipe, going from one end of the pipe to the other. ii) What is the frequency of the sound in the pipe? a) 1.5×102 Hz b) 2.0×102 Hz c) 2.5×102 Hz d) 3.0×102 Hz e) 3.5×102 Hz
10. A road side building has two doors on the same wall which is made up of sound proof material. Two persons (A & B) are standing on a same line perpendicular to the wall of the building and is 150m away from the wall. The distance between the two persons is 20m. If a sound horn from a vehicle is horrible for person A and barely audible for person B ( Assume first order minima). Find the distance between the doors? The wavelength of the sound is 3m.
Two loud speakers are 3m apart. A person is listening to a single pitch at 680Hz. Theperson is along the back wall, which is reasonably far, what are two directions from the center ofthe speakers where the person would expect to have the music loud? Repeat for two directionsthat are quiet.The person is now standing at the location that is 4m directly in front of one of thespeakers. Determine whether that position is loud, quiet or somewhere between the twoextremes. Explain. Use a diagram to help. [Note: Do not assume the person is far away.Comment on why that makes a difference.]
Two speakers A and B are 3.50 m apart, and each one is emitting a frequency of 444 Hz. However, because of signal delays in the cables, speaker A is one-fourth of a period ahead of speaker B. For points far from the speakers, find all the angles relative to the centerline, at which the sound from these speakers cancels. Include angles on both sides of the centerline. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.
An audio system is emitting a sound at a frequency of 676 Hz through two speakers separated by a distance d = 0.620 m. What's the shortest distance for a person to hear maximum intensity if he was facing the speaker on the right (see picture).
