Use specific sound speeds in the corresponding materials. a) Assuming perpendicular incidence and that the system is setup to equalize the amplitude of all the returned signals (don't account for attenuation and reflection/transmittance at interfaces), sketch the timing of the first echoes (signals) received by the transducer from interfaces A, and B.arrow_forwardWhat minnimum frequency will produce maximum destructive interference at your location?

If the floor were infinite in extent, the mathematical distribution of reflected light could be regarded in terms of a two-dimensional Fourier series. With each tile having a length l, the spatial period along either axis would be 2l, and the associated fundamental angular spatial frequencies would equal pi/l. These and their harmonics would certainly be needed to construct a functiondescribing the scene. Calculate the Fourier transform (FT) of the 2-dimensional square function for this tiled floor.arrow_forward

Need detail and step by step answer|arrow_forwardConsider two point sources of light separated by distance d and located symmetrically about the orgin as shown in the figure (not to scale). The two sources create waves which interfere (x, y) on an observation screen. Consider a point on the observation screen with coordinates (x, y). To determine the type of interference (constructive, destructive, or partial) we need to calculate the path length difference. To simplify calculations, we often use the interference approximation. We thus have two expressions for the path length difference: Arexact = r2 –rị , Arapprox = d sin 0 How good is the interference approximation? Let us investigate this questions in two different cases. a) Suppose d = 1 and (x, y) = (3,2). All numbers are in SI units. Calculate Arexact, Arapprox, and the percent difference between them. b) Suppose d = 1 and (x, y) = (30,20). All numbers are in SI units. Calculate Arexact, Arapprox, and the percent difference between them.arrow_forwardWhite light is incident on the surface of an oil slick (thin film) on water at an angle of 33 degrees from the normal.
