Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

Pr5. Two identical loudspeakers are located at points (-10,0,0) and (0,0, 10) of our coor- dinate system, where the numbers in the brac- kets correspond to the (r, y, z) coordinates of the points, expressed in meters. The loudspeakers are driven by the same oscillator with a frequ- ency of 170 Hz. The speed of sound in air can be considered 340 m/s. a) Give the coordinates of those points loca- ted on the positive r axis where the sound waves coming from the two loudspeakers interfere con- structively. b) A receiver is started to move slowly from the origin (0,0,0) along a path lying in the r-y plane so that it receives constant sound intensity throughout its slow motion. What is the shape of the path the receiver should take?
One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced approximately 20 cm apart. Consider a sound source 5.0 m from the center of your head along a line 45∘ to your right. What is the difference in arrival times? Give your answer in microseconds. Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation?

4. A car, sounding its horn, is moving at v. =158.4km / h directly toward a stationary wall in still air. The speed of sound, in the air, is v=330.0 m/s.

What is the wavelength, in the still air, of the sound wave approaching the wall? c) What is the frequency of the reflected sound heard by an occupant of the car?
