A pair of in-phase stereo speakers is placed side by side, 0.80m apart. You stand directly in front of one of the speakers, 1.2m from the speaker. What is the lowest frequency that will produce constructive interference at your location?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The distance of the second speaker is

Hence, the path difference between two waves from the speakeres is

For the constructive interference, the path difference must be equal to wavelength

                                                                

                                                                    

The frequency of the of the sound is

The two speakers are placed 37.2 cm apart. A single oscillator makes the speakers vibrate in phase at a frequency of 2.02 kHz. At what angles, measured from the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the speakers, would a distant observer hear maximum sound intensity? Minimum sound intensity? (Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.) maximum intensities: (List smallest angle first.) θ1max =  ° θ2max =  ° θ3max =  ° minimum intensities: (List smallest angle first.) θ1min =  ° θ2min =  °

Two speakers 5 m apart, are driven in phase by the same amplifier, at a frequency of 775 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. An observer starts 5m away from one of the speakers at a point along the perpendicular to the line connecting the two speakers, and moves away from the speakers along that line. a) How much distance separates the second and the third interference minima they hear? b) Do you expect the intensity at the...

A railway buffer consists of a pair of cylinders placed parallel side-by-side. Oil is present in each cylinder and is arranged to bypass through ports, thereby producing a damping resistance, which is proportional to the velocity of the piston within the cylinder. The magnitude of this resistance is 50 kN at a velocity of 0.25 m/s. Each cylinder also contains a compression spring, initially with negligible compression, of stiffness 65 kN/m. A rigid train of mass 250 tons is moving...

Two small forward-facing speakers are 2.50 m apart. They are both emitting, in phase with each other, a sound of frequency 1100 Hz in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s. A woman is standing opposite the midpoint between the speakers and is initially 35.0 m from the midpoint. As she slowly walks parallel to the line connecting the speakers, at what angle θ (relative to the centerline coming outward from the midpoint between the speakers) will...

Two loudspeakers 6.0 m apart are playing the same frequency. If you stand 10.0 m in front of the plane of the speakers, centered between them, you hear a sound of maximum intensity. As you walk parallel to the plane of the speakers, staying 10.0 m in front of them, you first hear a minimum of sound intensity when you are directly in front of one of the speakers. PART A What is the frequency of the sound? Assume a...

Two speakers spaced a distance 1.5 m apart emit coherent sound waves at a frequency of 680 Hz in all directions. The waves start out in phase with each other.
Two speakers spaced a distance 1.5 m apart emit coherent sound waves at a frequency of 680 Hz in all directions. The waves start out in phase with each other. A listener walks in a circle of radius greater than 1 m centered on the midpoint of the two speakers. At how many points does the listener observe destructive interference? The listener and the speakers are all in the same horizontal plane and the speed of sound is 340 m/s....
