GO In Fig. 17-46, sound of wavelength 0.850 m is emitted isotropically by point source S. Sound ray 1 extends directly to detector D, at distance L = 10.0 m. Sound ray 2 extends to D via a reflection (effectively, a “bouncing”) of the sound at a flat surface. That reflection occurs on a perpendicular bisector to the SD line, at distance d from the line. Assume that the reflection shifts the sound wave by 0.500λ. For what least value of d (other than zero) do the direct sound and the reflected sound arrive at D (a) exactly out of phase and (b) exactly in phase?

- An 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_forwardThe intensity of a sound source is described by an inverse-square law only if the source is very small (a point source) and only if the waves can travel unimpeded in all directions. For an extended source or in a situation where obstacles absorb or reflect the waves, the intensity at distance r can often be expressed as I = cPsource/r, where c is a constant and the exponent î, which would be 2 for an ideal spherical wave, depends on the situation. In one such situation, you use a sound meter to measure the sound intensity level at different distances from a source, acquiring the following data: Distance, r (m) 1 3 10 30 100 Intensity level, ß (dB) 100 93 85 78 70 Part A You want to determine the exponent a for this sound source by graphing the data. Select the appropriate variables to graph on each axis that will produce a straight- line graph with either a slope or intercept that will allow you to determine x. Sort all variables into the appropriate bins. ► View Available Hint(s)…arrow_forwardThe loudest sound produced by a living organism on Earth is made by the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). These whales can produce a sound that, if heard in air at a distance of 2.60 mm , would have an intensity level of 157 dBdB . This is roughly the equivalent of 5000 trumpeting elephants. How far away can you be from a 157 dBdB sound and still just barely hear it?(Assume a point source, and ignore reflections and absorption.)arrow_forward

Sound source S is an oscillating diaphragm; D is a sound detector, such as the ear or a microphone. Path SBD can be varied in length, but path SAD is fixed. At D, the sound wave coming along path SBD interferes with that coming along path SAD. In one demonstration, the sound intensity at D has a minimum value of 100 units at one position of the movable arm and continuously climbs to a maximum value of 900 units when that arm is shifted by 1.65 cm. Find (a) the frequency of the sound emitted by the source and (b) the ratio of the amplitude at D of the SAD wave to that of the SBD wave. (c) How can it happen that these waves have different amplitudes, considering that they originate at the same source?arrow_forward

The engineer found that the measured noise spectrum, PSD(f)=: dW where f is frequency and W is acoustic power can be repres- df ented by a piece-wise linear function (Equation1): PSD=0,if f2fo. Calculate the acoustic power, W in physical pressure units (Pa") corresponding to the jet noise perceived at the same microphone location as a function of A and fo. What is the acoustic power in case A=200 Pa'/ Hz and fo=100 Hz?

The pressure amplitude is to be limited to0.850 Pa. What is the minimum wavelength the sound wave can have? (Take the equilibrium density of air to be ρ = 1.20 kg/m3 and assume the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m/s.) (b) Calculate the pressure amplitude of a 2.80 kHz sound wave in air, assuming that the displacement amplitude is equal to 2.00 ✕ 10-8 m.[Note: Use the following values, as needed. The equilibrium density of air is ρ = 1.20 kg/m3. The speed of sound in air is v = 343 m/s. Pressure variations ΔP are measured relative to atmospheric pressure, 1.013 ✕ 105 Pa.] (c) Earthquakes at fault lines in Earth's crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 9 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earth's crust given that the density of rock is about 2500 kg/m3.arrow_forward
