Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  • Velocity of the wave is343m/s.
  • Distance from one source is

L1=d2=3.75m

  • Distance between two sources isd1=2.00m

Determining the concept

Use the conditions for destructive and constructive interference to find the frequencies and the multiplier.

Formulae are as follow:

v=f

Condition for destructive interference,

fmin,n=(2n1)v2螖尝

Condition for constructive interference,

fmax,n=nvLn=1,2,3,

Here, v is velocity, f is frequency, Lis the length and is the wavelength.

03

(a) Determining the lowest frequency  fmin,1that gives minimum signal at the listener’s ear

The phase difference is,

f=L2

Lis their path length difference.

Fully constructive interference occurs whenf=2n,and destructive interference occurs When, f=(2n+1).

Therefore, the condition for destructive interference is,

L=n12n=1,2,3,.

Fromtheequation,v=f

=v/f

Putting the value in the above equation,

Lvf=n12f=(n12)vL

First, find the length of the ear from source2,

L2=L12+d2=3.752+22=4.25m

So, that,

L=L2L1=4.253.75=0.50m

For,fmin,

fmin,n=(n12)3430.50

fmin,n=(n12)686鈥︹ (i)

Now, for constructive interference, the condition is,

fmax,n=nvL

Where, n=1,2,3,.

fmax,n=n3430.5fmax,n=(686)n鈥︹ (ii)

Fromtheabove equation (i), the lowest frequency that gives destructive interference whenn=1is,

fmin,n=(n12)686=(112)686=(12)686=343Hz

Hence, lowest frequencyfmin,1 that gives minimum signal at the listener鈥檚 location is fmin,1=343Hz.

04

(b) Determining the number with which  fmin,1must be multiplied to get the second lowest frequency fmin2  that gives minimum signal

From equation (i), the second lowest frequency that gives destructive interference is at n=2,

fmin,2=(212)686Hz=(32)686Hz=1029Hz=3343

fmin,2=3fmin,1

So, the multiplication factor to the fmin,1is 3 to get fmin,2.

05

(c) Determining the number with which fmin,1 must be multiplied to get the second lowest frequency fmin2  that gives minimum signal

From equation (ii), the third lowest frequency that gives destructive interference is at n=3,

fmin,3=(312)686Hz=(52)686Hz=1715Hz=5343

fmin,3=5fmin,1

So, the multiplication factor to the fmin,1is 5 to getfmin,3

06

(d) Determine the lowest frequency fmin,1 that gives maximum signal at the listener’s ear

From equation (ii), the lowest frequency that gives constructive interference is only when n=1,

So, that,
fmax,n=(686)nfmax,1=686Hz

So, the lowest frequency fmax,1that gives maximum signal at the listener鈥檚 location isfmax,1=686Hz
.

07

(e) Determining the number with which  fmin,1must be multiplied to get the second lowest frequencyfmin2   that gives maximum signal

From equation (ii), the second lowest frequency that gives constructive interference is at

n=2,fmax,n=(686)nfmax,2=2686Hz=1372Hz

fmax,2=2686Hz

So, the multiplication factor to the fmax,1is 2 to get fmax,2.

08

(f) Determining the number with which  must be multiplied to get the third lowest frequency  that gives maximum signal

From equation (ii), the third lowest frequency that gives constructive interference is at,n=3,

fmax,n=(686)nfmax,3=3686Hz=2058Hz

fmax,3=3686Hz

So, the multiplication factor to the fmax,1is 3 to get fmax,3.

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?

Question: A listener at rest (with respect to the air and the ground) hears a signal of frequency f1from a source moving toward him with a velocity of 15 m / s, due east. If the listener then moves toward the approaching source with a velocity of25ms, due west, he hears a frequencyf2that differs fromf1by 37 Hz. What is the frequency of the source? (Take the speed of sound in air to be340ms).
