intensity occurs. What is the distance of the nearest point from speaker A?

What is the length of the pipe if the pipe is a. closed at one end and b. open at both ends?arrow_forwardA tuning fork is known to vibrate with frequency 262 Hz. When it is sounded along with a mandolin siring, four beats are heard every second. Next, a bit of tape is put onto each line of the tuning fork, and the tuning fork now produces five beats per second with the same mandolin siring. What is the frequency of the string?

- Two audio speakers have been arranged in a large room so as to produce a sound interference pattern. Miguel starts at a position on the central antinodal line and begins to slowly walk parallel to the imaginary line connecting the speakers. Miguel stops at the first position of minimum loudness. At this position, he is a distance of 17.9 m from the nearest speaker. Sound waves travel through the room at 345 m/s and the speakers are sounding out a frequency of 244 Hz.a. Determine the wavelength of the sound waves.b. Determine the distance from Miguel to the furthest speaker.arrow_forwardSusan stands directly in front of two speakers that are in line with each other. The farther speaker is 6.0 m from her; the closer speaker is 5.0 m away. The speakers are connected to the same 680 Hz sound source, and Susan hears the sound loud and clear. The frequency of the source is slowly increased until, at some point, Susan can no longer hear it. What is the frequency when when the frequency is increased (and the wavelength decreased) until Δd = (m + 1/2) λfinal; this will determine the final wavelength lfinal and hence the final frequency.arrow_forwardTwo speakers (A and B) lie on the y-axis, 4.0m apart. They emit exactly the same 280 Hz tone in phase with each other. You start right at speaker A and walk in the x-direction. How far from speaker A do you first hear a minimum in sound intensity?

If you stand 11.0 m in front of the plane of the speakers, centered between them, you hear a sound of maximum intensity. As you walk parallel to the plane of the speakers, staying 11.0 m in front of them, you first hear a minimum of sound intensity when you are directly in front of one of the speakers.
