Chapter 24, Problem 5P
24.1 and 24.2 Young’s double-slit experiment and Index of refraction, light speed, and wave coherence
Sound from speakers Sound of frequency 680 Hz is synchronized as it leaves two speakers that are separated by 0.80 m on an open field. Draw a sketch of this arrangement and draw a line from between the speakers to a location where the sound is intense and equidistant from the two speakers (the 0th order maximum). Determine the angular deflection of a line from between the speakers to the 1st order intensity maximum to the side of this 0th order maximum. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.
