Two loudspeakers in a 20oCroom emit 686 Hz sound waves

along the x-axis.

a. If the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound

waves is maximum destructive?

b. If the speakers are out of phase, what is the smallest distance

between the speakers for which the interference of the sound

waves is maximum constructive?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum destructive is 25cm.

b. If the two speakers are out of phase, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound

waves is maximum constructive is25cm.

Step by step solution

01

Part a Step 1: Given information

Two loudspeakers are in phase. Therefore, the phase difference between the sound waves produced by these is =0

Consider the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum destructive is d.

The frequency of the sound waves f=686Hz

At 20C, the speed of sound in air isrole="math" localid="1650377361718" v=343m/s.

02

Determination of the smallest distance between the speakers

For the condition of destructive interference produced by the sound waves emitted by the two speakers, the phase difference between the waves is,

=2x...1

Here, the path-difference between the two waves is, x=d

For destructive interference, the phase difference can be written as,

role="math" localid="1650379152001" =2n+12...2where n=0,1,2...

Now, for smallest path difference, n=0. So, from the above equations 1 and 2,we can write,

role="math" localid="1650379605442" 2d=20+122d=d=2d=v2f=vfd=343m/s2686Hzd=0.25md=25cm

03

Part b Step 1: Given information

When two speakers are out of phase, the phase difference between the sound waves produced by these is =

Consider the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is d'

04

Determination of the smallest distance between the speakers in out of phase condition

Consider the condition of constructive interference, the path difference between the two waves are

=2n...1where n=0,1,2....

Now, the phase difference between the waves can be written in terms of path-difference as,

=2x+=2d'+...2

Consider n=1,for the constructive interference pattern, we can write using the two equations 1 and 2 as,

role="math" localid="1650379635522" 2d'+=22蟺诲'=d'=2d'=v2f=vfd'=343m/s2686Hzd'=0.25md'=25cm

Microwaves pass through a small hole into the 鈥渕icrowave cavity鈥 of FIGURE EX17.13. What frequencies between 10 GHz and 20 GHz will create standing waves in the cavity?

In 1866, the German scientist Adolph Kundt developed a

technique for accurately measuring the speed of sound in various gases. A long glass tube, known today as a Kundt鈥檚 tube, has a vibrating piston at one end and is closed at the other. Very finely ground particles of cork are sprinkled in the bottom of the tube before the piston is inserted. As the vibrating piston is slowly moved forward, there are a few positions that cause the cork particles to collect in small, regularly spaced piles along the bottom. FIGURE P17.53 shows an experiment in which the tube is filled with pure oxygen and the piston is driven at 400 Hz. What is the speed of sound in oxygen?

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive

interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to

pick up noise, delays it slightly, then rebroadcasts the noise next

to your ear where it can interfere with the incoming sound wave

of the noise. Suppose you are sitting 1.8 m from an annoying,

110 Hz buzzing sound. What is the minimum headphone delay, in

ms, that will cancel this noise?
