Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable-frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone. For what frequencies does their sound at the speakers produce (a) constructive interference and (b) destructive interference?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Any frequency which is an integer number of 819 will produce constructive interference.

The frequency that will produce the destructive interference is n409.5Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Condition of destructive interference

Condition of destructive interference is螖濒=n2(n=1,3,5,7,9,...) and for constructive interference is 螖濒=苍位;(n=1,2,3,...), wherel is the path difference and is the wavelength of the sound emitted from the speakers.

02

Calculate the constructive interference

From the graph, we can calculate d.

d=22+4.52d=4.92m

Notice thatl=d-4.5

4.92-4.5=nn=0.42=0.42n

But we need to calculate the frequency which can be calculated by dividing the speed of sound in air by the wavelength.

f=vf=n3440.42f=n819Hz;(n=1,2,3,4....)

So, any frequency which is an integer number of 819 will produce constructive interference.

03

Calculate the destructive interference

For destructive interference,l=n2;(n=1,3,5,...)

Now, we know that =vf=344f.

f=n34420.42f=n409.5Hz;(n=1,3,5,...)

So, the frequency that will produce the destructive interference is n409.5Hz.

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

Interference of Rectangular Pulses. Figure E15.35 shows two rectangular wave pulses on a stretched string traveling toward each other. Each pulse is traveling with a speed of \(1.00\;{{{\rm{mm}}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{{\rm{mm}}} {\rm{s}}}} \right. \\} {\rm{s}}}\) and has the height and width shown in the figure. If the leading edges of the pulses are \(8.00\;{\rm{mm}}\) apart at \(t = 0\), sketch the shape of the string at \(t = 4.00\;{\rm{s}}\), \(t = 6.00\;{\rm{s}}\), and \(t = 10.0\;{\rm{s}}\).

A jet plane flies overhead at Mach 1.70 and at a constant altitude of 1250 m. (a) What is the angle of the shock-wave cone? (b) How much time after the plane passes directly overhead do you hear the sonic boom? Neglect the variation of the speed of sound with altitude.

For sound waves in air with frequency 1000 Hz, a displacement amplitude of 1.2 x 108 m produces a pressure amplitude of 3.0 脳 10-虏 Pa. Water at 20掳C has a bulk modulus of 2.2 x 10鈦 Pa, and the speed of sound in water at this temperature is 1480 m/s. For 1000-Hz sound waves in 20掳C water, what displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa? Explain why your answer is much less than 1.2 x 10-8 m.

A sound wave in air at 20掳C has a frequency of 320 Hz and a displacement amplitude of 5.0010-3mmFor this sound wave calculate the (a) pressure amplitude (in Pa); (b) intensity W/m2(c) sound intensity level (in decibels).
