- If a large housefly 3.0 m away from you makes a noise of40.0 dB, what is the noise level of 1000 flies at that distance,assuming interference has a negligible effect?arrow_forwardTwo 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_forwardSolve Apo = 0 Submit ✓ Correct Because constructive interference is observed when Ar = 0, that is, when the listener is equidistant from the sources, the speakers must be sources of in-phase waves. Part C Find v, the speed of the sound waves in air.

- 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 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? Assume room temperature of 20∘C.arrow_forwardAn interface is formed between a block of aluminium (with an acoustic impedance of 1.8 x 107 kg m2 s') and a block of copper (with an acoustic impedance of 4.6 x 107 kg m-2 s-1). Longitudinal sound waves travelling through the aluminium are normally incident on the boundary, and are partially reflected. a) What is the ratio of the amplitude of the reflected wave to that of the incident wave? Number b) What is the ratio of the amplitude of the transmitted wave to that of the incident wave? Number c) What percentage of the incident power is transmitted? Number d) What percentage of the incident power is reflected? Number % Ouit P Sove Questiarrow_forward
- A row of seats is parallel to a stage at a distance of 8.4 m from it. At the center and front of the stage is a diffraction horn loudspeaker. This speaker sends out its sound through an opening that is like a small doorway with a width D of 0.074 m. The speaker is playing a tone that has a frequency of 2.00 104 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the distance between two seats, located near the center of the row, at which the tone cannot be heard?arrow_forwardTwo loudspeakers, A and B, are separated by a distance of 2.0 m. The speakers emit sound waves at a frequency of 680 Hz that are exactly out of phase. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What are the next three distances from speaker A along the +x axis will a points of destructive interference occur?arrow_forwardAn interference pattern is setup with two point sources of the same frequency vibrating in phase. A point on the second nodal line is 25.0 cm from one source, 29.5 cm from the other source. The speed of the waves is 7.5 cm/sec. Calculate the wavelength and the frequency of the sources.arrow_forward
