Chapter 36, Problem 36.9E
Doorway Diffraction. Sound of frequency 1250 Hz leaves a room through a 1.00-m-wide doorway (see Exercise 36.5). At which angles relative to the centerline perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound? Use 344 m/s for the speed of sound in air and assume that the source and listener are both far enough from the doorway for Fraunhofer diffraction to apply. You can ignore effects of reflections.

The entrance to a large lecture room consists of two side-by-side doors, one hinged on the left, and the other hinged on the right. Each door is 0.790 m wide. Sound of frequency 870 Hz is coming through the entrance from within the room. Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s. What is the diffraction angle of the sound after it passes through the doorway when one door is open.
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.
Consider a light wave passing through a slit and propagating
toward a distant screen. Figure P37.53 shows the intensity
variation for the pattern on the screen. Give a mathematical
argument that more than 90% of the transmitted energy is
in the central maximum of the diffraction pattern. Sugges-
tion: You are not expected to calculate the precise percent-
age, but explain the steps of your reasoning. You may use

- A riverside warehouse has several small doors facing the river. Two of these doors are open as shown in Figure P27.17. The walls of the warehouse are lined with sound-absorbing material. Two people stand at a distance L = 150 in from the wall with the open doors. Person A stands along a line passing through the midpoint between the open doors, and person B stands a distance y = 20 m to his side. A boat o the river sounds its horn. To person A, the sound is loud and clear. To person B, the sound is barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is 5.00 m. Assuming person B is at the position of the first minimum, determine the distance d between the doors, center to center.arrow_forwardFigure P36.35 shows a radio-wave transmitter and a receiver separated by a distance d = 50.0 m and both a distance h = 35.0 m above the ground.

- Table P35.80 presents data gathered by students performing a double-slit experiment. The distance between the slits is 0.0700 mm, and the distance to the screen is 2.50 m. The intensity of the central maximum is 6.50 106 W/m2. What is the intensity at y = 0.500 cm? TABLE P35.80arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forwardThe analysis of any two-point source interference pattern and a successful determination of wavelength demands an ability to sort through the measured information and equating the values with the symbols in Young's equation. Apply your understanding by interpreting the following statements and identifying the values of y, d, m and L. Finally, perform some conversions of the given information such that all information share the same unit. Two sources separated by 0.500 mm produce an interference pattern 525 cm away. The fifth and the second antinodal line on the same side of the pattern are separated by 98 mm. y= ________ d=________ m=_______ L=________arrow_forward
- At the metal fabrication company where you work, you are asked to measure the diameter D of a very small circular hole in a thin, vertical metal plate. To do so, you pass coherent monochromatic light with wavelength 562 nm through the hole and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen that is a distance x from the hole. You measure the radius r of the first dark ring in the diffraction pattern. You make the measurements for four values of x. Your results are given in the table. (a) Use each set of measurements to calculate D. Because the measurements contain some error, calculate the average of the four values of D and take that to be your reported result. (b) For x = 1.00 m, what are the radii of the second and third dark rings in the diffraction pattern?arrow_forwardIn your summer job at an optics company, you are asked to measure the wavelength λ of the light that is produced by a laser. To do so, you pass the laser light 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 ∆y between adjacent bright fringes in the portion of the pattern that is near the center of the screen. Using a microscope, you measure d. But both ∆y 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 are shown in Fig. P35.50, where you have plotted ∆y versus 1/d. The line in the graph is the best-fit straight line for the data. (a) Explain why the data points plotted this way fall close to a straight line.

- Laser light of wavelength 627.0 nm passes through a double-slit arrangement at the front of a lecture room, reflects off a mirror 29.2 m away at the back of the room, and then produces an interference pattern on a screen at the front of the room. The distance between adjacent bright fringes is 9.52 cm. What is the slit separation in meters? Number i 0.000192 Units marrow_forwardIn 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.
