- Two speakers connected to the same frequency generator emit a sound with afrequency of 500 Hz. As a person walks around in the room, he finds areas wherethe sound becomes loud and clear and areas where it is more muffled. At one spotwhere the sound is a maximum, the student is 3.2 m from one speaker. What isthe closest possible distance he could be to the other speaker?arrow_forwardImagine the time delay between the transmission and the arrival of the reflected wave of an ultrasound signal traveling through a region of someone's fattissue was 0.15 ms. Assume that the speed of sound through human tissues is 1540 m/s. then at what depht in cm the reflection ocurs?arrow_forwardA fish finder uses a sonar device that sends 20,000-Hz sound pulses downward from the bottom of the boat, and then detects echoes.Part AIf the maximum depth for which it is designed to work is 200 m , what is the minimum time between pulses (in fresh water)?arrow_forward
- Two speakers are against a wall emitting a sound at 767 Hz, 14 m apart, and facing each other. You are standing against the wall in between the speakers. Use 344ms for the speed of sound in air. A) What is the closest distance that you can be from the speaker on the left at which you exprerience total destructive interference, and the sound from the speakers cancel out? B) What is the closest distance that you can be from the speaker on the left at which you experrience total constructive interference, and the sound intensity is doubled?arrow_forwardTwo loud speakers are placed at opposite ends of a field at the same height. Each speaker is broadcastingequally in all directions. The sound intensity is 75.0 dB at the midpoint between the two speakers. Whatis the sound intensity level at a point one-quarter of the way from one speaker to the other along the linejoining them?arrow_forwardhelparrow_forward
- At an outdoor music event, a dB meter records 130 dB when placed 2.25 m in front of aloudspeaker near the stage. A) What was the power output of the speaker, assuminguniform spherical spreading of the sound and neglecting any absorption, reflection andinterference of the sound that may occur? B) How far away would you need to be forthe sound level to be 80 dB?arrow_forwardTwo loud speakers are 3m apart. A person is listening to a single pitch at 680Hz. 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. [Note: Do not assume the person is far away.Comment on why that makes a difference.]arrow_forwardTwo speakers are a distance d = 19.95m apart and emitting in-phase sound of frequency f = 55Hz. The sound is traveling at a speed of v= 339.8m/s. If a person starts by standing at one of the speakers and walks towards the other one, what is the shortest distance they can walk to find a point in which they hear destructive interference? 6.5 marrow_forward
