Question
A celebrity holds a press conference, which is televised live. A television viewer hears the sound picked up by a microphone directly in front of the celebrity. This viewer is seated 1.8 m from the television set. A reporter at the press conference is located 4.5 m from the microphone and hears the words directly at the very same instant that the television viewer hears them. Using a value of 343 m/s for the speed of sound, determine the maximum distance between the television viewer and the celebrity.

- Two small speakers, 0.680 m apart, are facing in the same direction. They are driven by one 666 Hz oscillator and therefore emit identical sound waves in phase with one another at the respective points of origin. (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.) Two speakers are side by side, with one speaker on the left and one on the right. The speakers are separated by a distance d and emit sound waves in the same direction. A man stands directly in front of the speaker on the right but a distance x away from the right speaker. (a) A listener wishes to stand in front of one of the speakers, at the closest point (i.e., smallest x-value) where intensity is at a relative maximum. At what distance x from the nearest speaker should she position herself? (Enter your answer in m.) m (b) The listener now wishes to stand at the closest point along that line where intensity is at a relative minimum. At what distance x should she position herself now? (Enter your answer in m.) marrow_forwardA celebrity holds a press conference, which is televised live. A television viewer hears the sound picked up by a microphone directly in front of the celebrity. This viewer is seated 1.9 m from the television set. A reporter at the press conference is located 4.3 m from the microphone and hears the words directly at the very same instant that the television viewer hears them. Using a value of 343 m/s for the speed of sound, determine the maximum distance between the television viewer and the celebrity.arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. A man strikes one end of a thin rod with a hammer. The speed of sound in the rod is 15 times the speed of sound in air. A woman, at the other end with her ear close to the rod, hears the sound of the blow twice with a 0.16 s interval between; one sound comes through the rod and the other comes through the air alongside the rod. If the speed of sound in air is 346 m/s, what is the length of the rod?

- A hunter is standing on flat ground between two vertical cliffs that are directly opposite one another. He is closer to one cliff than the other. He fires a gun and, after a while, hears three echoes. The second echo arrives 1.99 s after the first, and the third echo arrives 1.73 s after the second. Assuming that the speed of sound is 343 m/s and that there are no reflections of sound from the ground, find the distance (in m) between the cliffs. Number i Unitsarrow_forwardAn explosion occurs at the end of a pier. The sound reaches the other end of the pier by traveling through three media: air, fresh water, and a slender metal handrail. The speeds of sound in air, water, and the handrail are 342, 1400, and 5140 m/s, respectively. The sound travels a distance of 136 m in each medium. (a) After the first sound arrives, how much later does the second sound arrive? (b) After the first sound arrives, how much later does the third sound arrive?arrow_forwardIn the figure, a French submarine and a U.S. submarine move toward each other during maneuvers in motionless water in the North Atlantic. The French sub moves at speed VF = 53.00 km/h, and the U.S. sub at vus = 68.00 km/h. The French sub sends out a sonar signal (sound wave in water) at 1.000 × 103 Hz. Sonar waves travel at 5470 km/h. (a) What is the signal's frequency as detected by the U.S. sub? (b) What frequency is detected by the French sub in the signal reflected back to it by the U.S. sub?
