You are standing 2.5 m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers shown in FIGURE P17.68. They are 3.0 m apart and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase. As you begin to walk directly away from the speaker, at what distances from the speaker do you hear a minimum sound intensity? The room temperature is .

FIGURE EX17.27 shows the circular wave fronts emitted by two
wave sources.
a. Are these sources in phase or out of phase? Explain.
b. Make a table with rows labeled P, Q, and R and columns
labeled and C/D. Fill in the table for points P, Q, and
R, giving the distances as multiples of l and indicating, with a
C or a D, whether the interference at that point is constructive
or destructive.

Ultrasound has many medical applications, one of which is to monitor fetal heartbeats by reflecting ultrasound off a fetus in the womb.
a. Consider an object moving at speed toward an at-rest source that is emitting sound waves of frequency . Show that the reflected wave (i.e., the echo) that returns to the source has a Doppler-shifted frequency
A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90-cmlong, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80 Hz. What is the mass of the sculpture?
Biologists think that some spiders 鈥渢une鈥 strands of their web to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20 碌m, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12-cm-long strand of silk?
