You are standing 2.5m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers. They are 3.0m apart and both are playing a 686Hz tone in

phase. As you begin to walk directly away from the speaker, at what distances from the speaker do you hear a minimum sound intensity? The room temperature is 20c .

Answer:

distance from speaker is 17.87 m

Explanation:

given data

distance from loudspeaker = 2.5 m

distance between loudspeaker = 3.0 m

room temperature = 20c

wavelength f  = 686Hz

to find out

what distances from the speaker

solution

we know sound velocity c = 331.5  + 0.6 × 20c = 343.5

so wavelength of sound  λ = c / f  

wavelength = 343.5 /  686 = 0.5 m

when the difference in distance of speaker destructive interference will be

d = λ/2 × (2n-1)

for n = 1, 2 3 4 ..

d = 0.5/2 × (2n-1)

d = 0.250 , 0.75 , 1.25 , 1.750............   for n = 1, 2 3 .............

so

for d = 0.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x1) = 0.250

0.5 x1 = 7.6875

x1 = 15.375 m

for d = 0.75

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x2) = 0.75

1.5 x2 = 4.6875

x2 = 3.125 m

for d = 1.250

side of triangle by hypotenuse of triangle are

\sqrt{3^{2}+(2..5+x)^{2} } - (2.5 + x3) = 1.250

2.5 x2 = 1.1875

x3 = 0.475 m

for d = 1.750

x4 will be negative so we stop here

so the distance from speaker here is given below

distance = 2.5 + x

here x = 0.475 , 3.125 and 15.375 so

distance 1 = 2.5 + 0.475  = 2.975 m

distance 2 = 2.5 + 3.125  = 5.625 m

distance 3 = 2.5 + 15.375 = 17.875 m

final distance from speaker is 17.87 m
