Chapter 17, Problem 79P
GO In Fig. 17-46, sound of wavelength 0.850 m is emitted isotropically by point source S. Sound ray 1 extends directly to detector D, at distance L = 10.0 m. Sound ray 2 extends to D via a reflection (effectively, a “bouncing”) of the sound at a flat surface. That reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SD line, at distance d from the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by 0.500λ. For what least value of d (other than zero) do the direct sound and the reflected sound arrive at D (a) exactly out of phase and (b) exactly in phase?

Figure 17-37 shows a transmitter and receiver of waves con- tained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly toward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target. What is u if the emitted frequency is 18.0 kHz and the detected frequency (of the returning waves) is 22.2 kHz?

- The intensity of a sound source is described by an inverse-square law only if the source is very small (a point source) and only if the waves can travel unimpeded in all directions. For an extended source or in a situation where obstacles absorb or reflect the waves, the intensity at distance r can often be expressed as I = cPsource/r, where c is a constant and the exponent î, which would be 2 for an ideal spherical wave, depends on the situation. In one such situation, you use a sound meter to measure the sound intensity level at different distances from a source, acquiring the following data: Distance, r (m) 1 3 10 30 100 Intensity level, ß (dB) 100 93 85 78 70 Part A You want to determine the exponent a for this sound source by graphing the data. Select the appropriate variables to graph on each axis that will produce a straight- line graph with either a slope or intercept that will allow you to determine x. Sort all variables into the appropriate bins. ► View Available Hint(s)…arrow_forwardThe loudest sound produced by a living organism on Earth is made by the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). These whales can produce a sound that, if heard in air at a distance of 2.60 mm , would have an intensity level of 157 dBdB . This is roughly the equivalent of 5000 trumpeting elephants. How far away can you be from a 157 dBdB sound and still just barely hear it?(Assume a point source, and ignore reflections and absorption.)arrow_forwardCalculate the time taken by a sound wave of frequency 800 Hz and wavelength 44 cm to travel a distance of 500 m.
