Two stereo speakers, S1 and S2, that are connected to the same amplifier and separated by 5.0 m, both emit sound that destructively interferes relative to an observer standing at point P, 12 m directly north of S2, as shown in the diagram below. If the wavelength of the sound coming from both speakers is the same, what is the largest possible wavelength of the emitted sound?

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.

When two sources located at different positions produce the same pure tone, the human ear will often hear one sound that is equal to the sum of the individual tones. Since the sources are at different locations, they will have different phase angles p. If two speakers located at different positions produce pure tones 元 P, =A, sin (2uft + 1) and P, = A2 sin (2nft + dp2) , where - s41,.427, then the resulting tone heard by a listener can be written as P = A sin (2nft + 4), where A, sin 4, + A, sin p2 4 = arctan (A, cos 4, + A, cos 42)² + (A, sin d, + A2 sin 2) 2 .

What are the three longest wavelengths for standing sound waves in a 127-cm-long tube that is (a) open at both ends and (b) open at one end, closed at the other?
Consider the speaker set-up in the previous question. Each speaker emits a frequency of 6.6·102 Hz in phase with the other. The listener is seated directly in front of one speaker, 1.6 m away. The speakers are 2.4 m away from each other. How many extra wavelengths are needed for sound to get from speaker 2 to the listener? Take the speed of sound in air to be 3.4·102 m/s.
Problem #3: What intensity level dB in does a sound of 3. 04 × 10–4 W/m2 correspond to?
What is the resultant sound level when an 81-dB sound and an 87-dB sound are heard simultaneously? This question is in the library, but, some of the answers is not visible. Some of the values are not viewable. I, and anyone else who wants to use it, need a copy that is fully readable. I should not have to "use up" my questions getting clean images like this.
The speaker depicted below (See slide 10 of chapter 16 for a detailed explanation) emits a sound of frequency 779 Hz. Due to the path difference (r2 - r1) the receiver detects a constructive interference. Find the distance by which r2 needs to be adjusted to detect the very next destructive interference. (Take speed of sound as 343 m/s).
