Two speakers face each other, and they each emit a sound of wavelength . One speaker is 180 out of phase with respect to the oth

er. If we separate the speakers by a distance 1.5, how far from the left-most speaker should we place a microphone in order to pick up the loudest sound? Ignore reflections from nearby surfaces.
A. 1/2 lambda
B. 0 lambda
C. lambda
D. 3/4 lambda
E. 1/4 lambda

Answer:

C. lambda

Explanation:

Loudest sound is heard where path difference of sound wave coming from two sources will be either zero or integral multiple of wavelength . Here waves are already out of phase by 180° so at t = 0 , there is a path difference of λ /2 where λ is wavelength . So taking into account this fact , for constructive interference , path difference needed is odd multiple of λ /2

Distance between the sources = 1.5 λ .

If we place the microphone at λ , path difference between the waves coming from two sources reaching microphone = λ - 0.5λ = 0.5λ . Hence at the point constructive interference will take place .

A 20.00-ohm, 5.00-watt resistor is placed in series with a power supply.(a) What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to t
Nutka1998 [239]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 10.00V

(b) 0.5V

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The power(P) supplied by a resistor of resistance (R) when a voltage(V) is passed across is given by;

P = V² / R       ------------------(i)

From the question;

P = 5.00W

R = 20.00Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

5.00 = V² / 20.00

V² = 5.00 x 20.00

V² = 100.00

V = \sqrt{100.00}

Solve for V;

V = 10.00V

Therefore, the maximum voltage that can be applied without harming the resistor is 10.00V

(b) By Ohm's law the current (I) flowing through a resistor of resistance (R) when a voltage (V) is applied is given by;

V = I x R

=> I = V / R             ----------------(ii)

Substitute the values of V and R into equation (ii) as follows;

I = 10.00 / 20.00

I = 0.5A

Therefore, the current through the resistor is 0.5A

What is the ratio of the intensities and amplitudes of an earthquake P wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points
gavmur [86]

For both cases we will use the proportional values of the distance referring to the amplitude and intensity. Theoretically we know that the intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, while the amplitude is inversely proportional to the distance, therefore,

PART A )  Intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance

Intensity \propto \frac{1}{distance^2}

Therefore the intensity of the two values would be

\frac{I_{27}}{I_{13}} = \frac{(13km)^2}{(27km)^2}

\mathbf{\therefore \frac{I_{27}}{I_{13}} = 0.232 }

PART B) Amplitude is inversely proportional to the distance

Amplitude \propto \frac{1}{distance}

\frac{A_{27}}{A_{13}}= \frac{(13km)}{(27km)}

\mathbf{\therefore\frac{A_{27}}{A_{13}}= 0.4815}

A motor cycle travelling at 10 m/s accelerates at 4m/s for 8s.<br>what is it final velocity? ​
Vlad1618 [11]
  • Initial velocity=u=10m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Time=t=8s

Final velocity be v

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+4(8)

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+32

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=42m/s
