The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different

paths. The sound travels through the left tube LXM, which has a fixed length. Simultaneously, the sound travels through the right tube LYM, the length of which can be changed by moving the sliding section. At M, the sound waves coming from the two paths interfere. As the length of the path LYM is changed, the sound loudness detected by the microphone changes. When the sliding section is pulled out by 0.030 m, the loudness changes from a maximum to a minimum. Find the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube.

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

 λ  = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

What statements correctly describe theories
elixir [45]

Theories result from several repeated experiments.

Theories explain observations and hypotheses.

Theories may be revised over time.

Explanation:

Scientific theories are purely explanations into an observation and hypothesis. The are general binding explanations that have been developed from several tests.

  • Theories are products of different stages of experiments in their own regard.
  • For a theory to be accepted by the scientific community, its hypothesis statement must be:
  1. Testable
  2. Repeated
  3. Falsifiable
  • Based on new evidence, a theory may be revised with time. One of such is the Dalton's atomic theory with a modern atomic theory version now.
