Two sets of parallel waves with the same wavelength but different initial phases are directed at a barrier. Each wave is incident on a single tiny hole in the barrier, as shown in the diagram, with the lines representing the peaks of the waves. The two holes, therefore, act as sources of spherical waves, which spread out and interfere with each other.

Using the table above and in the figure shown below, the transducer is stimulated with a short pulse resulting in a short burst of pressure traveling through the sequence of materials shown in figure. Assume that no echoes are returned at the transducer-tissue interface. The transducer is operating at 3 MHz frequency, measured from the transducer edge, A 3 cm and B= 5 cm. Use specific sound speeds in the corresponding materials. a) Assuming perpendicular incidence and that the system is setup to equalize the amplitude of all the returned signals (don't account for attenuation and reflection/transmittance at interfaces), sketch the timing of the first echoes (signals) received by the transducer from interfaces A, and B.
An acoustic waveguide consists of a long cylindrical tube with radius rr designed to channel sound waves, as shown in (Figure 1). A tone with frequency ff is emitted from a small source at the center of one end of this tube. Depending on the radius of the tube and the frequency of the tone, pressure nodes can develop along the tube axis where rays reflected from the periphery constructively interfere with direct rays. If you can please provide an answer and explination for a, d, e
Consider two point sources of light separated by distance d and located symmetrically about the orgin as shown in the figure (not to scale). The two sources create waves which interfere (x, y) on an observation screen. Consider a point on the observation screen with coordinates (x, y). To determine the type of interference (constructive, destructive, or partial) we need to calculate the path length difference. To simplify calculations, we often use the interference approximation. We thus have two expressions for the path length difference: Arexact = r2 –rị , Arapprox = d sin 0 How good is the interference approximation? Let us investigate this questions in two different cases. a) Suppose d = 1 and (x, y) = (3,2). All numbers are in SI units. Calculate Arexact, Arapprox, and the percent difference between them. b) Suppose d = 1 and (x, y) = (30,20). All numbers are in SI units. Calculate Arexact, Arapprox, and the percent difference between them.
Not sure how to approach this problem; could I just find the herze of the moving wave and use that to perform a young's double slit calcuation to start with?
Plane waves in a box with periodic boundary conditions Consider plane waves (r) = a exp(ik. r) in a d-dimensional cubic region of linear size L in each direction and "volume" V = Lª. There are p possible_wave polarizations. Assume that the waves satisfy "periodic boundary conditions": () = (r+ Lêj), j = 1, ···, d, where ê; is the unit vector along the j-th direction. (i) The boundary conditions restrict the possible values of the wavevector K. Show that those possible values can be written in the form k = (8k) Σj-1¹jêj, where nj, j = 1,…‚d are integers, and calculate the quantity Sk. (ii) Assume that there are p possible polarizations, and that the angular frequency grows linearly with the wavevector: w = ck. Compute the density of modes g(w) in the general case of d dimension and list g(w) for d = 1,2,3. For this, note that the volume of a sphere of radius R in d-dimension is Vd-sphere = 77d/2 T(1+d/2) Rd, where I() is Euler's gamma function. (iii) Apply your result to the case of…

uppose we were looking at the image of a tiled floor made up alternately of black and white squares aligned with their edges parallel to the x- and y-directions. If the floor were infinite in extent, the mathematical distribution of reflected light could be regarded in terms of a two-dimensional Fourier series. With each tile having a length l, the spatial period along either axis would be 2l, and the associated fundamental angular spatial frequencies would equal pi/l. These and their harmonics would certainly be needed to construct a functiondescribing the scene. Calculate the Fourier transform (FT) of the 2-dimensional square function for this tiled floor.
What are the wave vectors at which a standing wave is found for the diatomic chain? at the 1st BZ zone boundary for both acoustic and optical mode no standing waves are found for the diatomic chain (which is in contrast to the monatomic chain) at the 1st BZ zone boundary, but only for the acoustic mode, in agreement with the solution of the monatomic chain O at the I point for the optical mode

The two sources S1 and S2 shown in Fig. emit waves ofthe same wavelength λ and are in phase with each other. Suppose S1 isa weaker source, so that the waves emitted by S1 have half the amplitude of the waves emitted by S2. How would this affect the positions of the antinodal lines and nodal lines? Would there be total reinforcement at points on the antinodal curves? Would there be total cancellation at points on the nodal curves? Explain your answers.
In the figure, a sound of wavelength A is emitted isotropically by point source S. Sound ray 1 extends directly to detector D, at distance L. Sound ray 2 extends to D via a reflection (effectively a "bouncing") of the sound at a flat surface. The reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SD line, at distance d from the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by 1/2 as discussed in the previous chapter. For what least value of d (other than zero) do the direct sound and the reflected sound arrive at D (a) exactly out of phase and (b) exactly in phase? Please state your answers in terms of the given variables. Ray 2 Ray 1 L 2
