Two loudspeakers, A and B, are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. The frequency of the waves emitt

ed by each speaker is 172 Hz. You are 8.00 m from speaker A. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s.What is the closest you can be to speaker B and be at a point of perfectly destructive interference?

Answer:

7 m .

Explanation:

For destructive interference

Path difference = odd multiple of λ /2

Wave length of sound from each of  A and B.

= speed / frequency

λ = 334 / 172 = 2 m

λ/2 = 1 m

If I am  1 m away from B , the path difference will be

8 - 1 = 7 m  which is  odd multiple of 1 or λ /2

So path difference becomes odd multiple of  λ /2.

This is the condition of destructive interference.

So one meter is the closest distance which I can remain at so that i can hear destructive interference.

Answer:

1m.

Explanation:

Frequency = f = 172 Hz

Speed = V = 344 m/s

For the destructive interference,

Wavelength = λ = V/f = 344/172 = 2m

Path difference = d2 – d1 = n λ/2

Where “n” is an odd integer.

If you are 1m away from the loudspeaker B then the path difference will be,

Path difference = d2 - d1 = 8 – 1 = 7m  

Which is odd multiple of λ/2 and also condition for destructive interference. Hence, to hear the perfect destructive interference you have to stay 1m close to loudspeaker B.

How did the work of Dmitri Mendeleev differ from that of John Newlands in the development of the periodic table?
Sonja [21]
B.

Both recognized that the elements have repeating properties but Mendeleev realized that there are elements yet to be discovered while Newlands tried to fit the known elements together.

Why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky
barxatty [35]

Answer: These apparent star tracks are in fact not due to the stars moving, but to the rotational motion of the Earth. As the Earth rotates with an axis that is pointed in the direction of the North Star, stars appear to move from east to west in the sky.

Explanation: why do the star constellations seem to move across the sky

why do you think we have different seasons (fall, summer, winter, spring) in certain areas of the world?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

how the areas are at

Explanation:

The tilt of the Earth's AXIS is the most important reason why seasons occur... The area depends why there's  a certain differnt season on differnt areas , its because one area is closet to the sun which mostky they get summer full time (like a normal year), but  Alaska,it just winter , the reason why Alaska is just cold because its not close to the sun.

What relationship between the mass of each other and its motion after the collision do you observe? How do Newtons laws help exp
Leni [432]

Answer:

If the weight and forces are the same, it will result in a balance, i they are different, it will result in an overload in the lower force/mass object, reflecting it to the opposite direction with higher speed.
