Chapter 36, Problem 36.5E
Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High-frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength 9.00 cm passes through a slit 12.0 cm wide. A microphone is placed 8.00 m directly in front of the center of the slit, corresponding to point O in Fig. 36.5a. The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point O. At what distances from O will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero?

Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High-frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength 9.00 cm passes through a slit 12.0 cm wide. A microphone is placed 8.00 m directly in front of the center of the slit, corresponding to point O in Fig. The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point O. At what distances from O will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero?
A transparent cylinder is placed in one of the arms of a Michelson interferometer and evacuated by a pump, as shown in the figure. A laser with light of wavelength λ₁ passes through the interferometer, and its arms are adjusted so that a bright fringe is seen in the detector. A certain volume of hydrogen gas is then slowly introduced into the cylinder, changing the refractive index inside. In the process, N light-dark-light transitions are counted in the detector. The laser is then exchanged for one with light of wavelength λ₂, and the cylinder begins to evacuate again. How many complete light-dark-light transitions will be seen in the detector until vacuum is re-established in the cylinder?
The diffraction phenomenon occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. A high-frequency sound emitted by a distant source has a wavelength of 9.00 cm and crosses a thin slit a = 12.0 cm wide. A microphone is located at a distance D = 40.0 cm in front of the center of the slot (point O in the figure). The microphone is moved to point P, where the intensity it detects is zero. a) What is the distance d between points O and P? b) How many minima will still be detected if the microphone is moved more than the O point?
