Two loudspeakers on a concert stage are vibrating in phase. A listener is 45.9 m from the left speaker and 34.7 m from the right one. The listener can respond to all frequencies from 20 to 20 000 Hz, and the speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the lowest frequency that can be heard loudly due to constructive interference?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Path difference of the two sound waves x = 45.9 m - 34.7m

                                                               = 11.2 m

speed of sound v = 343 m/s

the lowest frequency that can be heard loudly due toconstructive interference f = v / x

                                                                                                                       =30.7 Hz

Since for constructive interference path difference isintegral multiple of wavelength

Two loudspeakers are located 2.53 m apart on an outdoor stage. A listener is 21.4 m from one and 22.2 m from the other. During the sound check, a signal generator drives the two speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The transmitted frequency is swept through the audible range (20 Hz to 20 kHz).

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.500m . If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x =0.850m . A)What is the frequency of the sound? Assume vsound =340m/s. B)What is the phase difference between the speakers?

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. A listener in front of both speakers hears a maximum sound intensity when speaker 2 is at the origin and speaker 1 is at x = 0.540m . If speaker 1 is slowly moved forward, the sound intensity decreases and then increases, reaching another maximum when speaker 1 is at x =0.930m . What is the phase difference between the speakers?

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...

In the first stage of a two-stage rocket, the rocket is fired from the launch pad starting from rest but with a constant acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 upward. At 25.0 s after launch, the second stage fires for 10.0 s, which boosts the rocket’s velocity to 132.5 m/s upward at 35.0 s after launch. This firing uses up all the fuel, however, so after the second stage has finished firing, the only force acting on the rocket is gravity. Air...
