Question
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 α off to the side of a diffraction horn that has a width D of 0.070 m. This individual does not hear a sound wave that has a frequency of 11000 Hz. When she is sitting at an angle of α/2, the frequency that she does not hear is different. What is this frequency?

- Two audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. Speaker A is placed at head-level while Speaker B is place at some variable height, Ay, above Speaker A. Both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.467 meters. Calculate the lowest height that Speaker B can be placed above Speaker A to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing Ax = 6.03 meters directly in front of Speaker A.

A loudspeaker is located outdoors, 87 m away, and facing the window. The intensity level of the sound entering the window space from the loudspeaker is 79 db. Assume the acoustic output of the loudspeaker is uniform in all directions and that the acoustic energy incident upon the ground is completely absorbed and therefore is not reflected into the window. The threshold of hearing is 1.0 x 10 -12 W/m2. What is the acoustic power entering through the window spacearrow_forward
- Two audio speakers are placed on a vertical rail. Speaker A is placed at head-level while Speaker B is place at some variable height, Ay, above Speaker A. Both speakers receive simultaneous input from a sine-wave generator so the speakers each produce a pure sinusoidal sound wave with a wavelength of 0.759 meters. Calculate the lowest height that Speaker B can be placed above Speaker A to produce a minimum of sound heard by person standing Ax = 4.50 meters directly in front of Speaker A. sy AX Image size: S M L Maxarrow_forwardSound (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 Unitsarrow_forwardTwo 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?

- Two loudspeakers on a concert stage are vibrating in phase. A listener is 52.5 m from the left speaker and 24.0 m from the right one.
