The bending or spreading out of a wave at an obstacle or at the edges of an opening is called diffraction. (Sin 0=1/d) The amount of diffraction, (for all wave types) depends on the wave's wavelength A and the relative size of the opening d. If the speed of sound is 343 m/s and the speed of light is 3x10^8 m/s. What would be the ratio of the size of an opening to give the same amount of diffraction for sound and light? Take the frequency of sound at 500 Hz and light at 5x10^14 Hz ratio (Alight /Asound = dight /dsound) Over a million times smaller а. b. Over a thousand times smaller C.

Two waves travel simultaneously through the same medium. The first wave is described by: Y1(x,t)=(3.00 cm ) cos [kx-wt] and the second wave by Y2(x,t)=(3.00 cm)sin(kx-wt) i) Determine the amplitude of the resulting wave, And interpret the resulting wave in terms of constructive and distructing interference.
Two loudspeakers, 1.7 m apart, emit sound waves with the same frequency along the positive x-axis. Victor, standing on the axis to the right of the speakers, hears no sound. As the frequency is slowly tripled, Victor hears the sound go through the sequence loud-soft-loud-soft-loud before becoming quiet again. What was the original sound frequency? Assume room temperature of 20∘C.

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 242 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a band room, are reflected by end walls, and return. The band room is 44.0 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.
