Two speakers face each other, and they each emit a sound of wavelength λ. One speaker is 180∘ out of phase with respect to the o

ther. If we separate the speakers by a distance 1.5λ, how far from the left-most speaker should we place a microphone in order to pick up the loudest sound? Ignore reflections from nearby surfaces. Select all that apply.a. 3/4λb. 0 λc. 1/2λd. 1/4λe. 1 λ

Answer:

a. 3/4λ

d. 1/4λ

Explanation:

When the wavelength of the sound waves is λ and the two waves are having same frequency the waves are said to be out of phase if their phase difference is in the multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} or 180°.

When the two waves are out of phase then their opposite maxima coincide at the same time resulting in the minimum amplitude of the resulting wave throughout.

  • As we observe from the schematic that the a wave has sinusoidal pattern of variation and we get a maxima after each \frac{\lambda}{4} of the distance.
  • Here we have two speakers out of phase therefore on shifting one of the speakers by the odd multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} we have the maxima or the extreme amplitudes.

So, we must place the microphone at  3/4λ and 1/4λ to pickup the loudest sound.

The compound ethylene (C2H4) is represented by this diagram. What statement best describes the arrangement of the atoms in an et
Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ethylene is a compound given by the chemical formula H_2C=CH_2.

The bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms or carbon and carbon atoms are covalent bonds. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms combining.

A double bond is present between carbon and carbon atoms. So 2 pairs of electrons are shared which means in total of 4 electrons are shared.

Bond present between hydrogen and carbon atoms are single bonds. So, a pair of electrons is shared which means that in total of 2 electrons are shared.

Hence, the correct answer is two electrons are shared between each hydrogen atom and the carbon atom bonded to it, and four electrons are shared between the carbon atoms.
