Two identical audio speakers connected to the same amplifier produce in-phase sound waves with a single frequency that can be varied between 340 and 575 HzHz . The speed of sound is 340 m/sm/s . You find that where you are standing, you hear minimum-intensity sound
If one of the speakers is moved 39.8 cmcm toward you, the sound you hear has maximum intensity. What is the frequency of the sound?
Express your answer in hertz.
How much closer to you from the position in part B must the speaker be moved to the next position where you hear maximum intensity?
Express your answer in meters.
A loudspeaker having a diaphragm that vibrates at 1250 Hz is traveling at 80 m/s directly toward a pair of holes in a very large wall in a region for which the speed of sound is 344 m/s. You observe that the sound coming through the openings first cancels at 11.4 deg with respect to the original direction of the speaker when observed far from the wall.
How far apart are the two openings? What angles would the sound first cancel if the source stopped moving?
Two waves travelling in the same direction are given by: y1 = 0.2 sin(2rx-20t+p)
and y2 = 0.2 sin(2Ttx-20t), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. If the

- In your summer internship at an optical products company, you need to measure the wavelength λ of the light that is produced by a laser. To do this, you pass the light from the laser through two narrow slits that are separated by a distance d. You observe the interference pattern on a screen that is 0.900 m from the slits and measure the separation Δy between the adjacent bright bangs in the part of the picture that is near the center of the screen Using a microscope, you measure d. However, both Δy and d are small and difficult to measure accurately, so you repeat the measurements for several pairs of slits, each with a different value of d. Your results appear in Figure P35.52, where you have plotted Δy as a function of 1/d. The line on the graph is the best straight line for the data. (a)Explain why data points drawn in this way are close to a straight line. (b) Use Figure P35.52 to calculate λ.arrow_forwardAt a location that is 3.00 m from wave source A and 4.20 m from wave source B, constructive interference occurs.

- The figure 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 82.0 units at one position of the movable arm and continuously climbs to a maximum value of 1000 units when that arm is shifted by 2.44 cm.
