In Fig. 17-46, sound of wavelength is emitted isotropically by point source S. Sound ray 1 extends directly to detector D, at distance . Sound ray 2 extends to Dvia a reflection (effectively, a 鈥渂ouncing鈥) of the sound at a flat surface. That reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SDline,at distance dfrom the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by. For what least value of d(other than zero) do the direct sound and the reflected sound arrive at D(a) exactly out of phase and (b) exactly in phase?

In figure, sound with a 4.40 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and half-circle. Part of the sound wave travels through the half-circle and then rejoins the rest of the wave, which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius that result in an intensity minimum at the detector?

A pipe long and closed at one end is filled with an unknown gas .The third lowest harmonic frequency for the pipe is . (a) What is the speed of sound in the unknown gas? (b) What is the fundamental frequency for this pipe when it is filled with the unknown gas?
Question: A man strike one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 15times the speed of sound in the air. A woman, at the other end with her ear close to the rod, hears the sound of the blow twice with a 0.12 sinterval between; one sound comes through the rod and the other comes through the air alongside the rod. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/swhat is the length of the rod?
