(a) A circular diaphragm 60 cm in diameter oscillates at a frequency of 25 kHz as an underwater source of sound used for submarine detection. Far from the source, the sound intensity is distributed as the diffraction pattern of a circular hole whose diameter equals that of the diaphragm. Take the speed of sound in water to be 1450 m/s and find the angle between the normal to the diaphragm and a line from the diaphragm to the first minimum. (b) Is there such a minimum for a source having an (audible) frequency of 1.0 kHz?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The required angle is 6.77°.
  2. There is no minimum for a source having a frequency of 1kHz.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of first minima in diffraction pattern

For the first minima in diffraction pattern, the diffraction angle is given by,

sinθ=1.22λdθ=sin-1(1.22λd)......(1)

02

(a) Find the angle between the normal to the diaphragm and a line from the diaphragm

Find the wavelength as follows.

λ=vf=145025×103=0.058m

Substitute0.6m for dand 0.058mfor λin equation (1).

θ=sin-11.220.058m0.6mθ=sin-10.1179θ=6.77°

Therefore, the required angle isθ=6.77° .

03

(b) Find whether the minimum is possible or not

Find the wavelength as follows.

λ=vf=14501×103=1.45m

Substitute 0.6mford and1.45m forλ in equation (1).

sinθ=1.221.45m0.6msinθ=2.95>1

It is known thatsinθ>1 is not possible. So, no minima are possible.

Therefore, there is no minimum for a source having a frequency of1kHz .

An acoustic double-slit system (of slit separation dand slit width ) is driven by two loudspeakers as shown in Fig. 36-51. By use of a variable delay line, the phase of one of the speakers may be varied relative to the other speaker. Describe in detail what changes occur in the double-slit diffraction pattern at large distances as the phase difference between the speakers is varied from zero to 2Ï€. Take both interference and diffraction effects into account.
