A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1

.80 m from the midpoint of the two speakers. What are the lowest two frequencies that produce an interference maximum at the microphone's location?

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x   = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x   = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m   .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x   = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x   = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m     .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2  we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd  min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 0.342 m

frequency 2 =  velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz

If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not
Zanzabum
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

A stone dropped in a pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 4 ft/sec. After 12 seconds, h
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

After 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where;

r is the circle radius

Differentiate the area with respect to time.

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

dr/dt = 4 ft/sec

after 12 seconds, the radius becomes = \frac{dr}{dt} X 12 = 4 \frac{ft}{sec}  X 12 sec = 48 ft

To obtain how rapidly is the area enclosed by the ripple increasing after 12 seconds, we calculate dA/dt

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (48)(4)

    dA/dt = 1206.528 ft²/sec

Therefore, after 12 seconds, the area enclosed by the ripple will be increasing rapidly at the rate of 1206.528 ft²/sec

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where v is the wave's speed and \lambda is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz

So, the frequency has not changed.
