- You are working at an open-air amphitheater, where rock concerts occur regularly. The venue has powerful loudspeakers mounted on 10.6-m-tall columns at various locations surrounding the audience. The loudspeakers emit sound uniformly in all directions. There are ladder steps sticking out from the columns, to help workers service the loudspeakers. Many times, audience members break through the protective fencing around the columns and climb upward on the columns to get a better view of the performers. The upcoming concert is by a group that states that several very-high-volume pulses of sound occur in their concerts, and these sounds are part of their artistic expression. The amphitheater owners are worried about people climbing the columns and being too close to the loudspeakers when these peak sounds are emitted. They do not want to be held responsible for injuries to audience members ears. Based on past performances of the group, you determine that the peak sound level is 150 dB measured 20.0 cm from the speakers on the columns. The owners ask you to determine the heights on the columns at which to mount impassable barricades to keep people from getting too close to the speakers and hearing sound above the threshold of pain.arrow_forwardTwo out of phase loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.40 m from one speaker and 3.20 m fromthe other. What is the second lowest frequency at which constructive interference will occur?

A microphone can be moved along a line parallel to the line joining the speakers and 8.2 m from it. An intensity maximum is measured a point P0 where the microphone is equidistant from the two speakers. As we move the microphone away from P0 to one side, we find intensity minima and maxima alternately. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s, and you can assume that the slits are close enough together that the equations that describe the interference pattern of light passing through two slits can be applied here Part (a) What is the distance, in meters, between P0 and the first intensity maximum? |y1| =?
