Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

ng 5.50 m in front of one of the speakers perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound. What is the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

242.85 Hz

Explanation:

For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...

Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.

The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.

Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,

ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4

ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.

f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz

Continent jig-saw shapes when puzzled and combined together, formed one big continent - Pangea, and was separated by drifts.

Fossil comparisons of different species were discovered into two different, separated continents in which when you combine them, they were one in the past.

Seismic, volcanic, and geothermal activity are found along imagined plate boundaries. 

Plates were actually rubbing against each other as evidence is seen on the formed mountain ranges.
