Question

Two speakers are spaced 15 m apart and are both producing an identical sound wave. You are standing at a spot as pictured. What would be the frequency produced by the speakers to create perfectly constructive interference? Assume n = 1 and v = 343 m/s
213.04 Hz
256.70 Hz
186.68 Hz
233.14 Hz

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option 213.04 Hz

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

In this link we will find the image of the problem.

Regarding that image, we will first calculate the distance from my position to S1 and then to S2. Then the difference between these results.

We will use pitagoras.

S1 = $\sqrt{10^{2}+22^{2} }$

S1 = 24.17

S2 = $\sqrt{5^{2}+22^{2} }$

S2 = 22.56

The difference will be:

24.17-22.56 = 1.61 m

Constructive interference:

Δr=n*λ

λ=1.61 m (for n = 1)

Then we will calculate the frequency:

f = v / λ

f = (343m / s) /1.61m

f = 213.04 Hz

So the correct answer is option 213.04 Hz
