Two loudspeakers, Aand B, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. The frequency of the waves emitted by each speaker is 172 Hz. You are 8.00​â¶Ä‰mfrom role="math" localid="1655809995061" A. What is the closest you can be to Band be at a point of destructive interference?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The closet distance from B is 1m.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Frequency of sound emitted: f=172 H³ú

The distance of observer from A:l=8″¾

02

Condition of destructive interference

Condition of destructive interference is Δ±ô=n2λ , (n=1,3,5,7,9,...)whereΔ±ô is the path difference andλ is the wavelength of the sound emitted from the speakers.

03

Use the condition

Given thatf=172 H³ú and we know that the speed of sound in air isv=344″¾/s .

So,

λ=vf=344″¾/s172 H³ú=2″¾

The two speakers are 8mapart. Let the distance from B is x. So, we can write Δl=8−x.

Now,

8−x=n2λ8−x=n2×28−x=nx=8−n

From the given values of n, for n=7, we get the closest distance.

Hence, the closest distance from B is 1m.

If you are riding in a supersonic aircraft, what do you hear? Explain. In particular, do you hear a continuous sonic boom? Why or why not?

The four strings on a violin have different thicknesses but are all under approximately the same tension. Do waves travel faster on the thick strings or the thin strings? Why? How does the fundamental vibration frequency compare for the thick versus the thin strings?

15.4. BIO Ultrasound Imaging. Sound having frequencies above the range of human hearing (about 20,000 Hz) is called ultrasound. Waves above this frequency can be used to penetrate the body and to produce images by reflecting from surfaces. In a typical ultrasound scan, the waves travel through body tissue with a speed of 1500 m/s . For a good, detailed image, the wavelength should be no more than 1.0 mm. What frequency sound is required for a good scan?

Two identical loudspeakers are located at points A and B, 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and produce sound waves with a frequency of 784 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point Balong a line perpendicular to the line connecting Aand B(line BC in Fig. P16.65). (a) At what distances from Bwill there be destructiveinterference? (b) At what distances from Bwill there be constructiveinterference? (c) If the frequency is made low enough, there will be no positions along the line BCat which destructive interference occurs. How low must the frequency be for this to be the case?

A long tube contains air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 77.0°C. The tube is open at one end and closed at the other by a movable piston. A tuning fork that vibrates with a frequency of 500 Hz is placed near the open end. Resonance is produced when the piston is at distances 18.0 cm, 55.5 cm, and 93.0 cm from the open end. (a) From these values, what is the speed of sound in air at 77.0°C? (b) From the result of part (a), what is the value of g? (c) These results show that a displacement antinode is slightly outside the open end of the tube. How far outside is it?
