Example 14-8 depicts the following scenario. Two people relaxing on a deck listen to a songbird sing. One person, only 1.66 m from the bird, hears the sound with an intensity of 2.86×10−6 W/m^2.
A bird-watcher is hoping to add the white-throated sparrow to her "life list" of species. How far could she be from the bird described in example 14-8 and still be able to hear it? Assume no reflections or absorption of the sparrow's sound.
Two transverse sinusoidal waves combining in a string are described by the wave
functions y1 = 0.02 sin(4Ttx+rtt) and y2 = 0.02 sin(4Ttx-Ttt), where x and y are in
meters, andt is in seconds. If after superposition, a standing wave of 3 loops is
formed, then the length of the string is:
O 2 m
1.5 m
0.5 m
