### Sound Wave Interference ActivityYou are walking around a large open field. The only objects nearby are two identical speakers set some distance apart. The speakers emit sound in phase with a wavelength of 4 m. As you wander around the field, you notice that at certain locations the sound you hear is surprisingly loud, whereas at others it seems unusually quiet. You conclude that you are observing the effects of interference between the two sources of sound waves.**For each of the locations given, indicate what sort of interference would occur at that point.**#### Types of Interference1. **Constructive Interference:** Occurs where the sound waves from both speakers combine to make a louder sound.2. **Destructive Interference:** Occurs where the sound waves from both speakers cancel each other out, resulting in a quieter sound.3. **In Between:** Locations where the interference does not distinctly fall into the above two categories.#### Locations to ClassifyThe following locations must be categorized based on the type of interference they demonstrate:- 11 m from one speaker and 14 m from the other- 11 m from one speaker and 7 m from the other- 13 m from one speaker and 19 m from the other- 13 m from one speaker and 18 m from the other- 16 m from one speaker and 24 m from the other- 8 m from each speaker- 12 m from one speaker and 14 m from the otherDrag and drop each location into one of the three categories below:| Constructive interference | Destructive interference | In between ||----------------------------|----------------------------|-----------------------------|| | | |#### Answer Bank- [ ] 11 m from one speaker and 14 m from the other- [ ] 11 m from one speaker and 7 m from the other- [ ] 13 m from one speaker and 19 m from the other- [ ] 13 m from one speaker and 18 m from the other- [ ] 16 m from one speaker and 24 m from the other- [ ] 8 m from each speaker- [ ] 12 m from one speaker and 14 m from the otherBe sure to use the principles of wave interference to determine the appropriate categories for each location.

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 280 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a sound studio, are reflected by end walls, and return. The studio is 43.0 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. 17044.898X See if you can determine the path difference and the wavelength, and then express the path difference in terms of the wavelength. What part of the path difference is of interest to us when finding the phase difference? How is this part of the path difference related to the phase difference? • Need Help? Read It
Two loudspeakers are mounted on a rack, one h = 2.74 m above the other. Exactly 8.00 meters to the right of the midpoint, a microphone rests at point O. Point O is equally distant from each loudspeaker. The loudspeakers are driven by the same tone generator and vibrate in phase at 390 Hz. It is possible to create a condition of destructive interference at Point O by changing one or both of the path lengths (r1 and r2) between speaker and microphone. Suppose that this is done by raising the upper speaker while leaving the lower speaker in place. What is the smallest vertical distance (in m) that you would need to raise the upper speaker by, in order to create destructive interference at Point O? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.)
Waves from a radio station have a wavelength of 250 m. They travel by two paths to a home receiver 20.0 km from the transmitter. One path is a direct path, and the second is by reflection from a mountain directly behind the home receiver. What is the minimum distance from the mountain to the receiver that produces destructive interference at the receiver? (Assume that no phase change occurs on reflection from the mountain.)
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.
A 1,720-Hz tone is played on a stereo in an open field. A person stands at a point that is 4 m from one of the speakers and 4.4 m from the other. What must the minimum wavelength be for the person to hear the tone? (Hint: because of interference, two waves add constructively or destructively. If the sound is heard the interference must be constructive. For interference to be constructive, the difference in distance must be a multiple of the wavelength. That is, the difference in distances from the speakers must be 1 wavelength, two wavelengths, three wavelengths, etc.)

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.
Speaker 1 is at x = 0 and speaker 2 is to the right and facing it at x = 3 m. The speakers are to the same amplifier, which plays a tone of unknown frequency. If the first point of destructive interference is 0.18 m to the left of the center, find the frequency in Hz. The speed of sound is 345 m/s. connected continuous f = Hz

The speakers vibrate out of phase and are playing a 61.0 Hztone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the third closest to speaker A that speaker B can be located, so that thelistener hears maximum sound?
