In the figure, sound waves A and B, both of wavelength 12.0 m, are initially in phase and traveling rightward. They each reflect several times but end up traveling in their original direction. What is the second smallest value (m) of d that puts A and B exactly out of phase with each other after the reflections? A B d 2d |—a—
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?
Sound (speed = 343 m/s) exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. A person is sitting at an angle a off to the side of a diffraction horn that has a width D of 0.068 m. This individual does not hear a sound wave that has a frequency of 8400 Hz. When she is sitting at an angle of a/2, the frequency that she does not hear is different. What is this frequency? Number i Units
Two loudspeakers, 1.7 m apart, emit sound waves with the same frequency along the positive x-axis. Victor, standing on the axis to the right of the speakers, hears no sound. As the frequency is slowly tripled, Victor hears the sound go through the sequence loud-soft-loud-soft-loud before becoming quiet again. What was the original sound frequency? Assume room temperature of 20∘C.

Problem 1: The figure below shows four identical point sources of sound that are uniformly spaced on an x-axis. Sq d- d S3 d S4 P The sources emit sound at the same wavelength X and same amplitude A, and they emit in phase. A point P is shown on the x axis. Assume that as the sound waves travel to P, the decrease in their amplitude is negligible.

A 6 MHz sound beam with initial intensity of 8 mW/cm² propagates into the body to a depth of 2 cm and strikes an orthogonal reflector between two tissues with Impedances of Z₁ = 45 Rayls and Z₂ = 55 Rayls.

Sound with a 29 cm wavelength travels rightward from a source and through a tube that consists of a straight portion and a half-circle. Part of the soundwave travels through the circle and rejoins the the rest of the wave which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius r (in cm) that results in an intensity minimum at the detector. The maximum destructive interference will occur when the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves is 1/2 of a wavelength. To solve this problem express the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves as a function of r and set this amount equal to 1/2 of a wavelength.

X/10. It is √gd, so A water wave is a shallow-water wave if the water depth d is less than shown in hydrodynamics that the speed of a shallow-water wave is v = waves slow down as they move into shallower water. Ocean waves, with wavelengths of typically 100 m, are shallow-water waves when the water depth is less than 10 m. Consider a beach where the depth increases linearly with distance from the shore until reaching a depth of 5.4 m at a distance of 100 m. Part A How long does it take a wave to move the last 100 m to the shore? Assume that the waves are so small that they don't break before reaching the shore.
