Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 35.9 cm apart. The sound intensity decreases as the distance between the speakers is increased, reaching zero at a separation of 109.1 cm. a). What is the wavelength of the sound? b). If the distance between the speakers continues to increase, at what separation will the sound intensity again be a maximum?
Interference of sound
Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
