Textbook Question
Chapter 35, Problem 35.59PP
The professor again returns the apparatus to its original setting, so you again hear the original loud tone. She then slowly moves one speaker away from you until it reaches a point at which you can no longer hear the tone. It she has moved the speaker by 0.34 m (farther from you), what is the frequency of the tone? (a) 1000 Hz; (b) 2000 Hz; (c) 500 Hz; (d) 250 Hz.

Two loudspeakers, placed on opposite walls of a 10m long room, emit pure sine waves at f= 170 Hz coherently. If we were exactly in the middle of the room, where the interference of waves is constructive, what is the shortest distance we should travel towards one of the speakers so that the waves cancel out completely?" Assume that the speed of sound at air is 340 m/s.
Two powerful speakers, separated by 15.00 m, stand on thefloor in front of the stage in a large amphitheater. An aisle perpendicularto the stage is directly in front of one of the speakers and extends50.00 m to an exit door at the back of the amphitheater. (a) If the speakersproduce in-phase, coherent 440 Hz tones, at how many points along theaisle is the sound minimal? (b) What is the distance between the farthestsuch point and the door at the back of the aisle? (c) Suppose the coherentsound emitted from both speakers is a linear superposition of a 440 Hztone and another tone with frequency f. What is the smallest value of fso that minimal sound is heard at any point where the 440 Hz sound isminimal? (d) At how many additional points in the aisle is the 440 Hztone present but the second tone is minimal? (e) What is the distancefrom the closest of these points to the speaker at the front of the aisle?
