Follow these steps to solve this problem: Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Consider a point 4.0 m in front of speaker 1, which lies along a line from speaker 1, that is perpendicular to a line between the two speakers. Is this a point of maximum constructive interference, a point of perfect destructive interference, or something in between?

Compute the path-length difference ?r.

What is the wavelength ? of the sound waves emitted by the speakers?

Solutions

Expert Solution

1. path difference delta = sqrt(4^2 + 2^2) - 4 = 0.472 m

2. wavelength ? = velocity/frequency = 340/1700 = 0.2 m

let n? = delta

n = 0.472/0.2 = 2.36 since nos not an integer it is not a point of maximum constructive interference

let (2n+1)?/2 = delta

n = 1.86 since n is not aninteger it is not a point of perfect destructive interference

so it is a point something in between the maximum constructive interference and perfect destructive interference

Two small loudspeakers emit sound waves of different frequencies equally in all directions. Speaker A has an output of 1.30 mW, and speaker B has an output of 1.60 mW. Two speakers A and B are represented as points which serve as the centers of concentric circles representing sound waves emanating from the speakers. The concentric circles about speaker A are spaced more closely together than the concentric circles about speaker B. The points lie along a horizontal line, and...

Two identical loudspeakers are located at (x1, y1) = (0, 0) and (x2, y2) = (2.5 m,−0.5 m). The loudspeakers are driven by separate amplifiers, so that the loudspeakers are out of phase with each other, and produce sound waves with frequency of 650 Hz. The ambient temperature of air is 37 0C. A small microphone is moved along the y-axis. 1. At what distances along the y-axis will there be constructive interference? 2.
