An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar
door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar.
Outside the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the
door, a jet engine makes a 600-Hz sound. At what angle with
the door will the technician observe the first minimum in
sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.800 m wide and the
speed of sound is 340 m/s?

- Two small slits are in a thick wall, 27.5 cm apart. A sound source from the behind the wall emits a sound wave toward the wall at a frequency of 2,000 Hz. Assume the speed of sound is 342 m/s. (a) Find the (positive) angle (in degrees) between the central maximum and next maximum of sound intensity. Measure the angle from the perpendicular bisector of the line between the slits. ° (b) The sound source is now replaced by a microwave antenna, emitting microwaves with a wavelength of 2.75 cm. What would the slit separation (in cm) have to be in order to give the same angle between central and next maximum of intensity as found in part (a)? cm (c) The microwave antenna is now replaced by a monochromatic light source.
