In Figure OQ14.3, a sound wave of wavelength 0.8 m divides into two equal parts that recombine to interfere constructively, with the original difference between their path lengths being |r2 − r1| = 0.8 m. Rank the following situations according to the intensity of sound at the receiver from the highest to the lowest. Assume the tube walls absorb no sound energy. Give equal ranks to situations in which the intensity is equal. (a) From its original position, the sliding section is moved out by 0.1 m. (b) Next it slides out an additional 0.1 m. (c) It slides out still another 0.1 m. (d) It slides out 0.1 m more. Figure OQ14.3
Two loudspeakers directly face each other 30 m apart, with the left speaker positioned at x = 0 m. The pressure of the sound wave emitted by the left speaker is described by the equation ΔpL = p0 cos(1.90x - 630t), while that from the right speaker is given by ΔpR = p0 cos(1.90x + 630t), where x ismeasured in m and t in s. What is the point nearest to the left speaker at which there is a node in the sound wave?
In the singing rod demonstration, Mr. H holds a 2.13-m length of aluminum rod in the exact center. With rosin on his fingers, he slides his sticky fingers back and forth over the rod until it begins to sing out with a very pure tone. Assuming waves travel at speeds of 6320 m/s within the aluminum and that the standing wave pattern is characteristic of one-half wavelength between the rod's ends, determine the frequency of the sound.
The acoustic impedance of water is Zwater = 1440000 kg/(m2 s), and that of bone is Zbone = 7800000 kg/(m2 s). What proportion of the energy of a sound wave propagating in water will be reflected at the water-bone boundary?
The volume control on a surround sound amplifier is adjusted so the sound intensity level at the listining position increase from 22 to 66 dB. What is the raiton of the final sound intensity to the original sound intensity?

The average depth of penetration of an ultra-sound wave of the frequency f = 800 kHz in tissue is 4 cm. The initial intensity of this wave was 10 W/m2. What will the intensity of this wave be at the depth x = 120 mm?
The frequency separating audible waves and ultrasonic waves is considered to be 20 kHz. What wavelength in air at room temperature is associated with this frequency? (Assume the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.)
Two identical loudspeakers 2.0 m apart are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m directlyin front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, perfect destructive interference, or something in between?
Calculate the pressure amplitude (in m) of a 45 kHz sound wave in pure hydrogen if it has adisplacement amplitude of 1.5 mm. (ρH2 = 0.08 kg/m3, v = 1286 m/s.)
By proper excitation, it is possible to produce both longitudinal and transverse waves in a long metal rod. In a particular case, the rod is 150 cm long and 0.200 cm in radius and has a mass of 50.9 g. Young’s modulus for the material is 6.80 × 1010 Pa. Determine the required tension in the rod so that the ratio of the speed of longitudinal waves to the speed of transverse waves is 8.
