Chapter 17, Problem 93P
SSMFigure 17-48 shows an air-filled, acoustic interferometer, used to demonstrate the interference of sound waves. Sound source S is an oscillating diaphragm; D is a sound detector, such as the ear or a microphone. Path SBD can be varied in length, but path SAD is fixed. At D, the sound wave coming along path SBD interferes with that coming along path SAD. In one demonstration. the sound intensity at D has a minimum value of 100 units at one position of the movable arm and continuously climbs to a maximum value of 900 units when that arm is shifted by 1.65 cm. Find (a) the frequency of the sound emitted by the source and (b) the ratio of the amplitude at D of the SAD wave to that of the SBD wave. (c) How can it happen that these waves have different amplitudes, considering that they originate at the same source?

An individual can hear sound waves from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, what is the wavelength limit of the highest frequency? Answer must be given in cm units.
c) When testing a supersonic jet nozzle for certification purposes, an aerospace engineer
used a far-field microphone to measure the noise power spectrum density (PSD) radi-
ated by the jet issuing from the nozzle. The engineer found that the measured noise
spectrum, PSD(f)=:
dW
where f is frequency and W is acoustic power can be repres-

ented by a piece-wise linear function (Equation1):
PSD=0,if f2fo.
Calculate the acoustic power, W in physical pressure units (Pa") corresponding to the jet
noise perceived at the same microphone location as a function of A and fo. What is the
acoustic power in case A=200 Pa'/ Hz and fo=100 Hz? Provide a clear explanation of
every step of your analysis.
