Figure shows two isotropic point sources of sound S1 and S2The sources emit waves in phase at wavelength 0.50m; they are separated byD=1.75m . If we move a sound detector along a large circle centered at the midpoint between the sources, at how many points do waves arrive at the detector(a) Exactly in phase and (b) Exactly out of phase ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Total 14 points wave arrive at the detector exactly in phase.
  2. Total 14 points wave arrive at the detector exactly out of phase.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities 

D=1.75鈥塩尘

Sources emit waves at wavelength 0.50 m

02

Understanding the concept

The problem is based on the concept of destructive interference pattern. In destructive interference the resultant intensity is highly reduced, as the waves are out of phase. For destructive interference, the two waves should have a phase difference equal to 180 .

03

(a) To find points where the wave arrive at the detector exactly in phase. 

It can be observed that destructive interference will occur at all the points along the x-axis. This happens because the path difference (for the waves traveling from their respective sources) divided by wavelength gives the (dimensionless) value 3.5, implying a half-wavelength or 180潞 phase difference i.e. destructive interference between the waves. To distinguish the destructive interference along the +x axis from the destructive interference along the -x - axis, we label one with +3.5 and the other -3.5. This labeling is useful in that it suggests that the complete enumeration of the quiet directions in the upper-half plane (including the x axis) is: 3.5,2.5,1.5,0.5,+0.5,+1.5,+2.5,+3.5.

Similarly, the complete enumeration of the loud directions in the upper-half plane is: 3,2,1,0,+1,+2,+3. Considering similar values for the lower-half plane as well, thus there are a total of 7+7=14鈥渓oud鈥 directions.
04

(b) To find total 14 points wave arrive at the detector exactly out of phase.

The points of constructive interference are: 3.5,2.5,1.5,0.5,+0.5,+1.5,+2.5,+3.5 along with2.5,1.5,0.5,+0.5,+1.5,+2.5 (for the lower-half plane) is 14. There are 14 鈥渜uiet鈥 directions.

A certain sound source is increased in sound level by30.0dB. By what multiple is (a) its intensity increased and (b) its pressure amplitude increased?

Question: Two sound waves, from two different sources with the same frequency,540 Hz,travel in the same direction at330 m/s. The sources are in phase. What is the phase difference of the wave at a point that is 4.40 mfrom one sound andfrom the other?

200鈥塳尘On July 10, 1996, a granite block broke away from a wall in Yosemite Valley and, as it began to slide down the wall, was launched into projectile motion. Seismic waves produced by its impact with the ground triggered seismographs as far away as200鈥塳尘. Later measurements indicated that the block had a mass between7.3107鈥塳驳and1.7108鈥塳驳and that it landedvertically below the launch point and30鈥尘horizontally from it.

(The launch angle is not known.)

(a) Estimate the block鈥檚 kinetic energy just before it landed.

Consider two types of seismic waves that spread from the impact point鈥攁 hemispherical body wave traveled through the ground in an expanding hemisphere and a cylindrical surface wave traveled along the ground in an expanding shallow vertical cylinder (Fig. 17-49). Assume that the impact lasted, the vertical cylinder had a depth d of5.0鈥尘, and each wave type received 20% of the energy the block had just before impact. Neglecting any mechanical energy loss the waves experienced as they traveled, determine the intensities of (b) the body wave and

(c) the surface wave when they reach the seismograph200鈥塳尘away.

(d) On the basis of these results, Which wave is more easily detected on a distant seismograph?

A trumpet player on a moving railroad flatcar moves toward a second trumpet player standing alongside the track while both play a 440鈥塇锄note. The sound waves heard by a stationary observer between the two players have a beat frequency of4.0鈥塨别补迟蝉/s.What is the flatcar鈥檚 speed?

The average density of Earth鈥檚 crust 10鈥塳尘beneath the continents is 2.7鈥塯/cm3. The speed of longitudinal seismic waves at that depth, found by timing their arrival from distant earthquakes, is role="math" localid="1661499978175" 5.4鈥塳尘/s. Use this information to find the bulk modulus of Earth鈥檚 crust at that depth. For comparison, the bulk modulus of steel is about role="math" localid="1661499995851" 161010鈥塒补.
