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.

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?
krek1111 [17]
Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.
