Clear my choice
Al an open-air music concert the music is broadcast through large speakers perpendicular to the stage.
You are wandering around and notice that the sounds of the vocalist on stage can be heard in front of the stage
but not so well to the sides (left or right of the large venue). However bass sounds can be heard both in front of the
stage and off to both sides. How does the phenomenon of diffraction explain your observations?
O a. Since the frequencies of the sounds of the vocalist are higher than bass sounds, diffraction is less
pronounced and the sound spreads out less
O b. This statement cant be truel
O c. Diffraction of sound is lower for the bass sounds.
O d. Since the wavelengths of the sounds of the vocalist are higher, than bass, diffraction is more pronounced
and the sound spreads out more
