Two speakers on the Ox axis emit sound waves from the same direction along the axis. Speaker 2 is 2.0 m behind speaker 1. The two speakers are connected to the same signal generator, which oscillates the 340 Hz, but the wire connecting it to speaker 1 goes through a box containing a electronic device that delays the signal by 1.47 ms. Along the Ox axis. To along the Ox axis, the interference is totally constructive, totally destructive or something in between?
Properties of sound
A sound wave is a mechanical wave (or mechanical vibration) that transit through media such as gas (air), liquid (water), and solid (wood).
Quality Of Sound
A sound or a sound wave is defined as the energy produced due to the vibrations of particles in a medium. When any medium produces a disturbance or vibrations, it causes a movement in the air particles which produces sound waves. Molecules in the air vibrate about a certain average position and create compressions and rarefactions. This is called pitch which is defined as the frequency of sound. The frequency is defined as the number of oscillations in pressure per second.
Categories of Sound Wave
People perceive sound in different ways, like a medico student takes sound as vibration produced by objects reaching the human eardrum. A physicist perceives sound as vibration produced by an object, which produces disturbances in nearby air molecules that travel further. Both of them describe it as vibration generated by an object, the difference is one talks about how it is received and other deals with how it travels and propagates across various mediums.
(Question 22) Answer step to step the following question: Two speakers on the Ox axis emit sound waves from the same direction along the axis. Speaker 2 is 2.0 m behind speaker 1. The two speakers are connected to the same signal generator, which oscillates the 340 Hz, but the wire connecting it to speaker 1 goes through a box containing a electronic device that delays the signal by 1.47 ms. Along the Ox axis. To along the Ox axis, the interference is totally constructive, totally destructive or something in between? (Consider v= 340 m/s) Justify your asnwer.
