Speakers A and B are vibrating in phase. They are directly facing each other, are 8.0 m apart, and are each playing a 75.0-Hz to

ne. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. On the line between the speakers there are three points where constructive interference occurs. What are the distances of these three points from speaker A?

Answer:

4 m, 1.71 m and 6.29 m

Explanation:

Let L = 8 m be the distance between the two speakers. Let x be the distance from speaker A of constructive interference. The distance to speaker B from the point of constructive interference is thus x₁ = L - x.

There is constructive interference when the distance x₁ - x = nλ where n = is an integer and λ = wavelength L - x  

x₁ - x = nλ

L - x - x = nλ

L - 2x = nλ

x = (L - nλ)/2 = (L - nv/f)/2. where v = speed of wave = 343 m/s and f = frequency = 75 Hz

The distance from A where constructive interference would occur starts from when

n = 0

x₂ = (L - nv/f)/2 = (8 - 0 × 343/75)/2 = (8 - 0)/2 = 8/2 = 4 m

n = 1

x₃ = (L - nv/f)/2 = (8 - 1 × 343/75)/2 = (8 - 4.57)/2 = 3.43/2 = 1.71 m

when n = 2

x₄ = (L - nv/f)/2 = (8 - 2 × 343/75)/2 = (8 - 9.14)/2 = -1.15/2 = -0.57 m

So the value at n = 2 is not included.

The third point occurs at x₅ = L - x₃ where x₃ = 1.71 m is the distance away from point B where constructive interference also occurs. (since it is symmetrical about the point x₂ = 4 m

x₅ = L - x₃ = 8 - 1.71 = 6.29 m

Answer:

The distances of the three points from speaker A is  1). 1.713 m,  2). 4 m,

3). 6.287 m.

Explanation:

Here we have

Speed of sound, v = fλ

Where:

f = Frequency of sound and

λ = Wavelength of the sound

Therefore, λ  = v/f = \frac{343 \hspace{0.09cm}m/s}{75.0 \hspace{0.09cm}Hz} = 4.573 m

The two speakers are 8.0 m apart

Let X be a point from speaker A on the line where we have constructive interference. Therefore,

(L - X) - X = n·λ

Which gives X= \frac{L - n\cdot \lambda}{2}

Therefore, we have, when n = 0,

X= \frac{8 - 0\cdot 4.573}{2} = 4 m

When n = 1 we have

X= \frac{8 - 1\cdot 4.573}{2} = 1.71 \hspace {0.09cm} m, which is the distance from speaker A, since from the nature of the calculation, if we selected X to be from speaker B, then there will be a point of constructive interference at 1.71 m from speaker B

In other words since there is  a point of constructive interference at the mid point, we will have constructive interference at λ/2 on either side of the mid point

Therefore, the three points are;

4 - (4.573 m)/2, 4, 4+(4.573 m)

The distances of the three points from speaker A is

1). 1.713 m,

2). 4 m,

3). 6.287 m.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Solar Flares and Prominences

Explanation:

    The sun is source of light and heat energy and it supports life on earth because sun is the primary source of energy. But sun is also a star and is a glowing ball of hot gases mostly hydrogen and helium. There are so many activity that takes place on surface of sun. But the two activity solar flare and prominences affect the radio communication.

Solar Flare  are electromagnetic energy built up in the sun atmosphere .These energy travel with the speed of light and affect outer atmosphere of earth. These increased level of X rays and ultraviolet rays ions the layer of ionosphere which becomes superionised. thus causing destructive interference.

The radio waves travel in ionosphere and  frequently collide with electron lose energy and completely blackout.

Prominence is defined as gaseous cloud of calcium,hydrogen and other gases floating above sun chromosphere and emit violently particularly near sunspots sometimes travel through space and affect radio communication.

An object experiences a net acceleration to the left. Which of the following statements about this object are true? There may be
dedylja [7]

Answer:

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

Explanation:

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.

From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;

a = ∑F / m

a = -F / m

The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left

where;

∑F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)

a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)

Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;

  1. When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
  2. If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude
