Two speakers are facing each other, 4.00 meters apart, in phase and playing a sound with frequency 170HZ. Find the distance from the center point to the nearest point where totally destructive interference occurs.

Solutions

Expert Solution

For two sound waves travelling in opposite direction will lead to a combine wave called as standing wave. Standing wave have two interferences constructive and destructive. Destructive interference occurs at nodes and constructive interference occurs at antinodes. Nodes have zero amplitude while antinodes are having amplitude twice that of sound wave travelling alone.

Node position or destructive position is given as X (from the end).

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 19 cm apart. The sound intensity decreases as the distance between the speakers is increased, reaching zero at a separation of 29 cm. What is the wavelength of the sound?
