A square has a side of length L = 0.75 m. An observer O is stationed at one corner. Two loudspeakers are located at corners of the square, as shown. The speakers produce the same single-frequency tone and are in phase. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. (a) Find the single smallest frequency that will produce constructive interference for observer O. (b) Find the single smallest frequency that will produce destructive interference for observer O. (c) Repeat (a) and (b) with the new location of the speakers shown in the second figure.

One clue used by your brain to determine the direction of a source of sound is the time delay t between the arrival of the sound at the ear closer to the source and the arrival at the farther ear.Assume that the source is distant so that a wavefront from it is approximately planar when it reaches you, and let D represent the separation between your ears. (a) If the source is located at angle u in front of you , what is in terms of D and the speed of sound v in air? (b) If you are submerged in water and the sound source is directly to your right, what is t in terms of D and the speed of sound vw in water? (c) Based on the time-delay clue, your brain interprets the submerged sound to arrive at an angle u from the forward direction. Evaluate u for fresh water at 20C.

Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at each ear just 0.34 ms apart, which is useful in determining where low frequency sound is originating from. (a) Suppose a low-frequency sound source is placed to the right of a person, whose ears are approximately 18 cm apart, and the speed of sound generated is 340 m/s. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear? (b) Assume the same person was scuba diving and a low-frequency sound source was to the right of the scuba diver. How long is the interval between when the sound arrives at the right ear and the sound arrives at the left ear, if the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s? (c) What is significant about the time interval of the two situations?

You and your team are asked to determine the hearing safety parameters for a loud experiment. Sincethe sound will persist for only a short time, the allowed intensity level that will not result in permanenthearing damage is 135 dB. The experiment consists of a single source with power output of 550 W thatprojects sound isotropically (i.e., uniformly in all directions)a) At what distance should you set the safety perimeter (i.e., the radius of a sphere in meters) centered atthe source? b) Where should you set the perimeter is the power of the source doubles?
