In the figure, sound with a 15.3 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and a half-circle. Part of the sound wave travels through the half-circle and then rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius r that results in an intensity minimum at the detector? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

1. (a) What is the intensity in w/m of a laser beam used to burn away cancerous tissue that, when 90.0% absorbed, puts 540 J of energy into a circular spot 2.2 mm in diameter in 1.5 s? Hint: The laser is a collimated beam of light and does not produce a spherical wave. w/m? (b) Reflect on how this intensity compares to the average intensity of sunlight (about 1W/m) and the implications that would have if the laser beam entered your eye. Note how your answer depends on the time duration of the exposure. The intensity of a laser is about damaging if they enter your eye. times that of the sun, so clearly lasers can be very

Sound with a 29 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and a half-circle. Part of the soundwave travels through the circle and rejoins the the rest of the wave which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius r (in cm) that results in an intensity minimum at the detector. The maximum destructive interference will occur when the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves is 1/2 of a wavelength. To solve this problem express the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves as a function of r and set this amount equal to 1/2 of a wavelength.
