Two powerful speakers, separated by 15.00 m, stand on the floor in front of the stage in a large amphitheater. An aisle perpendicular to the stage is directly in front of one of the speakers and extends 50.00 m to an exit door at the back of the amphitheater. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s.

a) If the speakers produce in-phase, coherent 440.0 Hz tones, at how many points along the aisle is the sound minimal?

b) What is the distance between the farthest such point and the door at the back of the aisle?

c) Suppose the coherent sound emitted from both speakers is a linear superposition of a 440.0 Hz tone and another tone with frequency f. What is the smallest value of f so that minimal sound is heard at any point where the 440.0Hz sound is minimal?

d) At how many additional points in the aisle is the 440.0 HzHz tone present but the second tone is minimal?

e) What is the distance from the closest of these points to the speaker at the front of the aisle?

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 speakers are located at two neighboring corners of a square of side length 10.00 m. A listener walks from another corner of the square along the side toward the speaker next to her. Assume that the two speakers are playing the same 75.0-Hz tone in phase and the sound speed in the air is 343 m/s. (1) How far must she walk to reach a constructive interference point? (A) 1.05 m; (B) 1.35 m; (C) 1.65 m; (D) 1.95...

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...

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 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). (a) What is the lowest frequency fmin,1 that gives minimum signal (destructive interference) at the listener's location? By what number must fmin,1 be...

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...
