- Point P is at some distance away from the center between two speakers. Both speakers are producing the same frequency and are in phase with each other. What is the smallest frequency value for which there will be no sound at Point P?arrow_forwardTwo speakers emit sound waves of frequency 170 Hz. At some point A, the intensity of the intensity of each speaker is 10 mW/m2. The distance from A to the close speaker is 1.0 meters less than the distance from A to the far speaker. Assume a speed of sound equal to 340 m/s. What is the intensity at A if the speakers are exactly in phase? (Give your answer in mW.) What is the intensity at A if the speakers are exactly 180° out of phase? (Give your answer in mW.)arrow_forward9. Two small stereo speakers are driven in step by the same variable- frequency oscillator. Their sound is picked up by a microphone arranged as shown in the figure. For what two lowest frequencies above 100 Hz does their sound at the speakers produce (a) constructive interference and (b) destructive interference?

Theperson is along the back wall, which is reasonably far, what are two directions from the center ofthe speakers where the person would expect to have the music loud? Repeat for two directionsthat are quiet.The person is now standing at the location that is 4m directly in front of one of thespeakers. Determine whether that position is loud, quiet or somewhere between the twoextremes. Explain. Use a diagram to help.

- The sound pressure level at 250 Hz is 50 dB in one room and in 30 dB in the other. The surface area of the wall between them is 15 m2. The total amount of absorption at 250 Hz in the room with the lower noise level is 20 Sabines.

Suppose you are sitting in a field on a very quiet day while a harvest mouse sits nearby. A very gentle breeze causes a leaf 1.1 mm from your head to rustle, generating a faint sound right at the limit of your ability to hear it. The sound of the rustling leaf is also right at the threshold of hearing of the harvest mouse. How far is the harvest mouse from the leaf?arrow_forward
