Two loudspeakers in a plane, 6.0 m apart, are playing the same frequency. If you stand 11.0 m in front of the plane of the speakers, centered between them, you hear a sound of maximum intensity. As you walk parallel to the plane of the speakers, staying 11.0 m in front of them, you first hear a minimum of sound intensity when you are directly in front of one of the speakers. What is the frequency of the sound? Assume a sound speed of 340 m/s. Express your answer in hertz. VE ΑΣΦ Ć ?

Two loudspeakers, A and B (Fig. ), are driven by thesame amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 mto the right of speaker A. Consider point Q along the extension ofthe line connecting the speakers, 1.00 m to the right of speaker B.Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker topoint Q. What is the lowest frequency for which (a) constructive interferenceoccurs at point Q; (b) destructive interference occurs at point Q?
An audio system is emitting a sound at a frequency of 676 Hz through two speakers separated by a distance d = 0.620 m. What's the shortest distance for a person to hear maximum intensity if he was facing the speaker on the right (see picture).
Two 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?
A loudspeaker, mounted on a tall pole, is engineered to emit 75% of its sound energy into the forward hemisphere, 25% toward the back. You measure an 85dB sound intensity level when standing 3.5m in front of and 2.5m below the speaker. What is the speaker's power output?
Two loud speakers are 3m apart. A person is listening to a single pitch at 680Hz. Theperson is along the back wall, which is reasonably far, what are two directions from the center ofthe speakers where the person would expect to have the music loud? Repeat for two directionsthat are quiet.The person is now standing at the location that is 4m directly in front of one of thespeakers. Determine whether that position is loud, quiet or somewhere between the twoextremes. Explain. Use a diagram to help. [Note: Do not assume the person is far away.Comment on why that makes a difference.]
You sit in the center of a room that includes an amazing surround-sound system, consistingof 10 speakers (all of which are equidistant from your ears). You play a tone from all 10 speakersat once, but they have randomly-distributed relative phases, so you hear the same volume as ifyou turned up the power coming through a single speaker by a factor of 10. From this arrangementyou hear the tone at an intensity level of 35 dB. Next you reconfigure the speakers so that theyplay the tones in phase. If the volume of each speaker is the same as before, what is the decibellevel of this new sound?
The figure shows two loudspeakers (A) and (B), and a point (C) where a listener is positioned. The speakers vibrate inphase and are playing a 66.0 Hz tone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. The listener at point (C) hears the first farthestloud sound (excluding infinity) at a distance 6.50 m as measured from speaker (A). What is the separation (d) betweenthe two speakers?
Two identical loudspeakers placed 3.00 m apart are driven by the same oscillator (as shown). A listener is originally at point O, located 8.00 m from the center of the line connecting the two speakers. The listener then moves to point P, which is a perpendicular distance 0.350 m from O, and she experiences the first minimum in sound intensity. What is the frequency ofthe oscillator?
A sonar device emits waves of frequency 40 kHz. The wavelength of the wave in water is 0.032 m. Suppose thatthe device is fixed to the bottom of the ship. It emits a signal and the echo from the ocean bed returns 0.8 secondlater. What is the depth of the ocean at that point?
A gun is fired from the ground with a muzzle velocity of 330m/s at an angle of 25˚ with thehorizontal. How long does a man hear the sound that is 1km away from the shooting? Assumethat sound travels linearly at 250m/s.
Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at the ear just 1.00 ms apart. What is the minimum distance (in cm) between two speakers that produce sounds that arrive at noticeably different times on a day when the speed of sound is 348 m/s? cm
You are standing between two stereo speakers that are emitting sound of wavelength 9.20 cm in step with each other. They are very far apart compared with that wavelength. If you start in the middle and walk a distance x directly toward one speaker, you observe that the sound from these speakers first cancels when x is equal to... ?
