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?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Points of destructive interference with respect to B are9.01m , 2.71 m, 1.27 m, 0.53 m, 0.026 m.
  2. Points of constructive interference with respect to B are4.34 m, 1.84 m, 0.86 m,0.26 m.
  3. The lowest frequency for the case mentioned is 86Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Distance between the speakers is2.00鈥尘

Sound鈥檚 speed in air is 344鈥尘/s

Frequency emitted784鈥塇锄

02

(a) Determination of the distance from B where destructive interference occur.

When the path difference between two coherent sources is a half-integer number of Wavelengths, Destructive interference occurs. If path difference is integral multiple of wavelength, constructive interference occurs.

Wavelength can be calculated as,

=vf=344鈥尘/s784鈥塇锄=0.439鈥尘


Take the distance between the speakers as h. The condition for destructive interference is,

x2+h2-x=

Solving for x,

x2+h2-x+x=+xx2+h2=+xx2+h2=(+x)2

x=h222(1)

Substitute the values in the above equation and put =12

x=h222x=(2.00鈥尘)22120.439鈥尘1220.439鈥尘=9.01鈥尘

Similarly, for =32

x=(2.00鈥尘)22320.439鈥尘3220.439鈥尘=2.71鈥尘

for =52

x=(2.00鈥尘)22520.439鈥尘5220.439鈥尘=1.27鈥尘

For =72

x=(2.00m)22720.439m7220.439m=0.53m

For, =92

x=(2.00鈥尘)22920.439鈥尘9220.439鈥尘=0.026鈥尘

Thus,9.01m ,2.71m , 1.27m,0.53m ,0.026m are the positions of destructive interference.

03

(b) Determination of the distance from B where constructive destructive occur.

Substitute the values in equation 1and put =1

x=h222x=(2.00鈥尘)2210.439鈥尘120.439鈥尘=4.34鈥尘

Similarly, for =2

x=(2.00鈥尘)2220.439鈥尘220.439鈥尘=1.84鈥尘

for =3

x=(2.00鈥尘)2230.439鈥尘320.439鈥尘=0.86鈥尘

For =4

x=(2.00鈥尘)2240.439鈥尘420.439鈥尘=0.26鈥尘

Thus, the positions of constructive interference are 4.34 m, 1.84 m, 0.86 m, 0.26 m.

04

(c) Determination of the lowest frequency.

There will be destructive interference at speaker B whenh=/2.

The path difference can never be more than or even as big as /2.

Therefore, the minimum frequency is then,

v2h=(344m/s)/(4.0m)=86Hz.

The lowest frequency at which destructive interference occurs is 86鈥嬧塇锄.
