Two identical audio speakers connected to the same amplifier produce in-phase sound waves with a single frequency that can be varied between 340 and 575 HzHz . The speed of sound is 340 m/sm/s . You find that where you are standing, you hear minimum-intensity sound
If one of the speakers is moved 39.8 cmcm toward you, the sound you hear has maximum intensity. What is the frequency of the sound?
Express your answer in hertz.
How much closer to you from the position in part B must the speaker be moved to the next position where you hear maximum intensity?
Express your answer in meters.
A music song recorded in a studio is stored as a digital sequence on a CD. The analog signal representing the music is 2 minutes long and is sampled at a frequency fs=44100s-1 .
