Two loudspeakers are about 10 m apart in the front of a large classroom. if either speaker plays a pure tone at a single frequen

cy of 400 hz, the loudness seems pretty even as you wander around the room, and gradually decreases in volume as you move farther from the speaker. if both speakers then play the same tone together, what do you hear as you wander around the room?

The observed differences in amplitudes are due to interference between the sound waves. The decrease in amplitude is due to destructive interference of the waves and the increase in amplitude is due to constructive interference.

<em>As the person moves around the room, he will find several point where the sound is maximum and several point where there is no sound. It is due to constructive and destructive interference of sound.</em>

Explanation:

The two loudspeakers kept at a distance of 10\text{ m} from one another produce the sound. If the person moving in the room listens to the sound of only one loudspeaker at a time, the intensity of the sound will be higher when he is near the loudspeaker and it will decrease as the person will move away from it.

If both the loudspeakers are switched on, the sound waves from both the loudspeakers can be heard in the room. As the sound waves travel throughout the room, they interfere with one another.

The interference of the sound waves causes the constructive interference and destructive interference in the room. Due to this, there are points of constructive interference where the intensity of the sound is highest due to both speakers.

Whereas at the point of destructive interference, the intensity of the sound is minimum.

Thus, <em>As the person moves around the room, he will find several point where the sound is maximum and several point where there is no sound. It is due to constructive and destructive interference of sound.</em>

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15×10^(−2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7
IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength

a is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m

a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m

So we find

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m

The distance of the 5th  bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm

The ratio of the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum
Liula [17]

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

Why is it not posible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum???
Montano1993 [528]
It is not possible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum because only other species can see the other parts of the spectrum because they have different components in their eyes than we do, therefore, only allowing us to see a
portion of the spectrum, which is visible light.
