A turntable 1.50 m in diameter rotates at 75 rpm. Two speakers, each giving off sound of wavelength 31.3 cm, are attached to the rim of the table at opposite ends of a diameter. A listener stands in front of the turntable. (a) What is the greatest beat frequency the listener will receive from this system? (b) Will the listener be able to distinguish individual beats?

Short Answer

Expert verified

A) fbeat=38HzB) No, the listener will not be able to distinguish individual beats.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of the frequency of the sound emitted by the speakers

The frequency of the sound emitted by the speakers is fs=vand the angular frequency of the turntable is vs=rand the frequency detected by the listener is fL=fs(vvvs)where, v is the speed of sound in the air, vs is the speed of speaker and speaker2 as well, fs is the frequency of the sound emitted by each speaker

02

Calculate the angular frequency of the turntable.

The speaker that will be moving toward the listener (speaker) and (speaker2) for the speaker that moves away from the listener as the turntable rotates.

So, let's find the frequency of the sound emitted by the speakers, which can be determined as follows

fs=v=34431.310-2=1100Hz

Now, the other thing we need to determine is the velocity of each speaker, where the velocity of the speakers is the same as the velocity of the table's rims, so we need to convert it to (rad/s)

vs=rwhere (r= 0.75 m) is the radius of the turntable and (w =75 rpm) is the angular frequency of the turntable and convert into rad/s

vs=0.75m75rpm2蟺谤补诲1rev1min60svs=5.9m/s

03

Calculate fL1 and fL2 

The frequency detected by the listener from speaker is fL=fsvvvs

Substitute the values in the above equation we get,

Use the minus sign in the denominator because the source "speaker " is moving toward the listener,

fL1=1100344344-5.9fL1=1119Hz

Use the plus sign in denominator because the source "speaker2" is moving away from the listener:

fL2=1100344344-5.9fL2=1081Hz

04

Calculate the beat frequency of the listener

A beat frequency of 38 Hz means that there will be a 38 pulse per second, so, no, the listener will not be able to distinguish individual beats.

fbeat=fL1-fL2=1119Hz-1081Hz=38Hz

Therefore, the beat frequency of the listener is 38Hz

Can a standing wave be produced on a string by superposing two waves traveling in opposite directions with the same frequency but different amplitudes? Why or why not? Can a standing wave be produced by superposing two waves traveling in opposite directions with different frequencies but the same amplitude? Why or why not?

Two loudspeakers, A and B (see Fig. E16.35), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the sound waves produced by the loudspeakers is 206 Hz. Consider a point P between the speakers and along the line connecting them, a distance x to the right of A. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point P. For what values of x will (a) destructive interference occur at P; (b) constructive interference occur at P? (c) Interference effects like those in parts (a) and (b) are almost never a factor in listening to home stereo equipment. Why not?

The siren of a fire engine that is driving northward at 30.0 m/s emits a sound of frequency 2000 Hz. A truck in front of this fire engine is moving northward at 20.0 m/s. (a) What is the frequency of the siren鈥檚 sound that the fire engine鈥檚 driver hears reflected from the back of the truck? (b) What wavelength would this driver measure for these reflected sound waves?

(a) A sound source producing 1.00-kHz waves moves toward a stationary listener at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency will the listener hear? (b) Suppose instead that the source is stationary and the listener moves toward the source at one-half the speed of sound. What frequency does the listener hear? How does your answer compare to that in part (a)? Explain on physical grounds why the two answers differ.

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.
