Chapter 16: Q. 32 (page 452)

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners at x = -7.0 m and x = +3.0 m. a. What is the x-coordinate of the source? b. A third listener is positioned along the positive y-axis. What is her y-coordinate if the same wave front reaches her at the same instant it does the first two listeners?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a

X- coordinate of the source is x=-2.0m.

Part b

Y-coordinate of the third listener is y=4.6m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Wavefront simultaneously reaches atx=-7.0mandx=+3.0m.

02

Part a

As the same wavefront simultaneously reaches listeners at x=-7.0mand x=+3.0m, role="math" localid="1649951372478" 鈭�蠒=0radwhich implies that

2蟺位r2-r1=0r2=r1

Thus, the source is at x=-2.0mso that it is equidistant from the two listeners.

03

Part b

The third person is also 5.0maway from the source.

Her y-coordinate is thus

y=52-22=25-4=21=4.6m

Therefore, the y-coordinate of the third listener is4.6m.

You are standing at x = 0 m, listening to a sound that is emitted at frequency f0. The graph of FIGURE Q16.12 shows the frequency you hear during a 4-second interval. Which of the following describes the sound source? Explain your choice.

A. It moves from left to right and passes you at t = 2 s.

B. It moves from right to left and passes you at t = 2 s.

C. It moves toward you but doesn鈥檛 reach you. It then reverses direction at t = 2 s.

D. It moves away from you until t = 2 s. It then reverses direction and moves toward you but doesn鈥檛 reach you

The sound intensity 50 m from a wailing tornado siren is

0.10W/m2.

a. What is the intensity at 1000 m?

which the siren can be heard.

The intensity of electromagnetic waves from the sun is 1.4 kW/m2 just above the earth鈥檚 atmosphere. Eighty percent of this reaches the surface at noon on a clear summer day. Suppose you think of your back as a 30 cm * 50 cm rectangle. How many joules of solar energy fall on your back as you work on your tan for 1.0 h?
