tube of air, transporting energy at the average rate of Pavg,11.In a second experiment, two other sound waves, identical to the first one, are to be sent simultaneously through the tube with a phase differencefof either 0,0.2 wavelength, or 0.5 wavelength between the waves. (a) With only mental calculation, rank those choices of according to the average rate at which the waves will transport energy, greatest first. (b) For the first choice of , what is the average rate in terms of Pavg,11 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The rank of phase difference according to the average rate of transport of energy by the waves, greatest first, isf=0,f=0.2位andf = 0.5位
  2. The average rate of energy transport for the first phase difference = Pavg=4Pavg1

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  1. The average rate of energy transported by a single wave = Pavg1
  2. The phase difference between the two waves sent through the pipe are f=0,f=0.2位andf = 0.5位

Determining the concept

The rate of energy transported by a travelling wave depends on the intensity of the wave as well as the area to which the energy is transported. The intensity of a resultant wave depends on the phase difference between the two superposing waves.

Formulae are as follow:

P=I.A

Where, l is intensity of the wave , A is area, P is energy.

(a) Determining the rank of phase difference according to the average rate of transport of energy by the waves, greatest first.

The rate of energy transported is given by,

P=I.A

l is intensity of the wave and A is area to which the energy is transported.

When two waves are sent with phase difference f1=0; the two waves will coincide exactly with each other. There will be constructive interference between the two and the resultant amplitude will be twice the original amplitude. Hence, the intensity of the resultant wave will be 4 times the original.

(SinceI=A2 )

Thus, the rate of energy transport forf1=0will be more than that for a single wave.

When two waves are sent with phase differencef2=0.2; the two waves will coincide partially. There will be partial constructive interference between the two waves.

Hence, the resultant intensity will be more thanthesingle wave but less than that forf1=0

When two waves are sent with phase differencef3=0.5; the two waves will show destructive interference. i.e the resultant wave will be a standing wave and not a travelling wave.

Hence, it will not transport the energy.

Hence, the ranking of the situations will be

P=0>P=0.2>P=0.5

Hence, the rank of phase difference according to the average rate of transport of energy by the waves, greatest first, isf=0,f=0.2位andf = 0.5位

(b) determining the average rate of energy transport for the first phase difference. 

Since, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice the single wave, intensity is four fold. Hence, the rate of energy transported will be,

Pavg=I.A

Pavg=4I1.A

Pavg=4.Pavg1

Hence, the average rate of energy transport for the first phase difference, Pavg=4Pavg1

Therefore, the energy transported by a wave can be calculated by using the intensity of the wave. Here, the intensity changes according to the phase difference between the two superposing waves. Hence the rate of energy transported changes as the phase difference changes.

Party hearing. As the number of people at a party increases, you must raise your voice for a listener to hear you against the background noise of the other partygoers. However, once you reach the level of yelling, the only way you can be heard is if you move closer to your listener, into the listener鈥檚 鈥減ersonal space.鈥 Model the situation by replacing you with an isotropic point source of fixed power P and replacing your listener with a point that absorbs part of your sound waves. These points are initially separated byri=1.20鈥尘 . If the background noise increases by螖尾=5dB , the sound level at your listener must also increase. What separationrf is then required?

A well with vertical sides and water at the bottom resonates at 7.00Hzand at no lower frequency. (The air-filled portion of the well acts as a tube with one closed end and one open end.) The air in the well has a density of 1.10kg/m3and a bulk modulus of1.33105Pa. How far down in the well is the water surface?
