- 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.

The figure shows a beam of ultrasonic waves that enter the surrounding medium, refract into the liver, reflect off the tumor, and refract back into the surrounding medium. If the speed of the wave as it travels through the liver is 5.7% less than when it is traveling through the surrounding medium, determine the depth of the tumor. cm Surrounding material 14.0 cm 55% Liver Tumorarrow_forward
