Two loudspeakers are located 3.0 m apart on the stage of an auditorium. A listener at point P is seated 19.0 m from one speaker

and 15.0 m from the other. A signal generator drives the speakers in phase with the same amplitude and frequency. The wave amplitude at P due to each speaker alone is A. The frequency is then varied between 30 Hz and 400 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency or frequencies will the listener at P hear a maximum intensity?

Answer:

The frequencies that the listener at P will hear a maximum intensity are: 85.75 Hz, 171.5 Hz, 257.25 Hz and 343 Hz.

Explanation:

Path Difference Δx is given as: nλ

where λ = \frac{v}{f}

Δx can be re-written as: n×\frac{v}{f}

where;

n = integer

v = speed of sound = 343 m/s

f = frequency

Δx  = 19.0 m - 15.0 m

Δx  = 4.0 m

4.0 m = \frac{n*343}{f}

f = \frac{n*343}{4}

f = n × 85.75 Hz

Now;  n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ; the frequencies that the listener at P will hear the maximum intensity will be

when n= 1

f = 1 × 85.75 Hz

f = 85.75 Hz

when n= 2

f = 2 × 85.75 Hz

f = 171.5 Hz

when n= 3

f = 3  × 85.75 Hz

f = 257.25 Hz

when n= 4

f = 4 × 85.75 Hz

f = 343 Hz

∴ the frequencies that the listener at P will hear the maximum intensity will be : 85.75 Hz, 171.5 Hz, 257.25 Hz and 343 Hz for n =1,2,3, and 4 respectively.

A 0.60 kg rubber ball has a speed of 2.0 m/s at point A, and kinetic energy of 7.5 J at point
aliina [53]
<span>Let's first off calculate the kinetic energy using the formula 1/2MV^2. Where the mass, M, is 0.6Kg. And speed, V, is 2. Hence we have 1/2 * 0.6 * 2^2 = 1.2J. Since kinetic energy is energy due to motion; hence at point B the rubber has a KE of 1.2J and not 7.5J. So I would say that only the Mass and speed is actually true; While it's kinetic energy is not true.</span>

How are intensity sound and energy related
zubka84 [21]
Sound is a form of energy in that it consists fluctuations of air pressure . The speed of the fluctuations is measured in cycles per second or Hertz (HZ)

Intensity is how large the fluctuations are, also known as amplitude and for the sound the unit is decibels of sonic pressure level (dB SPL)
