Question
The acoustical system shown in Figure P14.38 is driven by a speaker emitting sound of frequency 756 Hz. (a) If constructive interference occurs at a particular instant, by what minimum amount should the path length in the upper U-shaped tube be increased so that destructive interference occurs instead? (b) What minimum increase in the original length of the upper tube will again result in constructive interference?

- During ultrasound examination of a patient with spherocytosis, it was noted that 1 MHz signal after reflection from erythrocyte is determined by the detector as having a frequency 400 Hz higher.

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.

Part of the soundwave travels through the circle and rejoins the the rest of the wave which goes directly through the straight portion. This rejoining results in interference. What is the smallest radius r (in cm) that results in an intensity minimum at the detector. The maximum destructive interference will occur when the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves is 1/2 of a wavelength. To solve this problem express the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves as a function of r and set this amount equal to 1/2 of a wavelength.arrow_forward
