Shock Waves

Shock waves are common in continuum mechanics, and their dominance is attributable to the fact that they are stronger (or even less) compressible. Substantial perturbations propagated as sudden dynamic changes of a compressible medium supersonically. Shock waves are all around us in our daily lives. Lightning, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impact all produce them in nature. Even the earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, generates a shock wave as in solar wind that travels around 20 Earth radiuses. These shock waves might be either constant, linked to the body, or unsteady, i.e., moving around with time. All of the shocks mentioned above can be damaging, so precautions must be taken to reduce their impact.

A riverside warehouse has several small doors facing the river. Two of these doors are open as shown in Figure P27.17. The walls of the warehouse are lined with sound-absorbing material. Two people stand at a distance L = 150 in from the wall with the open doors. Person A stands along a line passing through the midpoint between the open doors, and person B stands a distance y = 20 m to his side. A boat o the river sounds its horn. To person A, the sound is loud and clear. To person B, the sound is barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is 5.00 m. Assuming person B is at the position of the first minimum, determine the distance d between the doors, center to center.
You are working at an open-air amphitheater, where rock concerts occur regularly. The venue has powerful loudspeakers mounted on 10.6-m-tall columns at various locations surrounding the audience. The loudspeakers emit sound uniformly in all directions. There are ladder steps sticking out from the columns, to help workers service the loudspeakers. Many times, audience members break through the protective fencing around the columns and climb upward on the columns to get a better view of the performers. The upcoming concert is by a group that states that several very-high-volume pulses of sound occur in their concerts, and these sounds are part of their artistic expression. The amphitheater owners are worried about people climbing the columns and being too close to the loudspeakers when these peak sounds are emitted. They do not want to be held responsible for injuries to audience members ears. Based on past performances of the group, you determine that the peak sound level is 150 dB measured 20.0 cm from the speakers on the columns. The owners ask you to determine the heights on the columns at which to mount impassable barricades to keep people from getting too close to the speakers and hearing sound above the threshold of pain.
A room is 6.0 m long and 3.0 m wide. At the front of the room, along one of the 3.0-m-wide walls, two loudspeakers are set 1.0 m apart, with the center point between them coinciding with the center point of the wall. The speakers emit a sound wave of a single frequency and a maximum in sound intensity is heard at the center of the back wall, 6.0 m from the speakers. What is the highest possible frequency of the sound from the speakers if no other maxima are heard anywhere along the back wall?
You are seated on a couch equidistant between two speakers. The speakers are 2.0 m apart and you are seated 4.0 m away from the point between the speakers as shown in Figure P35.4. Both speakers play an A note (a constant frequency of 440 Hz) in phase and at the same volume. As you move left and right along the couch, you notice that the volume alternates between minimum and maximum due to interference effects. Assume the speed of sound is 343 m/s. a. When you are seated at the center of the couch, is the sound a maximum or minimum in volume? b. If you slide along the couch to the left or right, approximately how far do you need to move until you reach the next location that has the same volume? (Hint: You may wish to obtain an exact expression and then use a spreadsheet or trial and error to find an approximate solution.) FIGURE P35.4
Sound with a frequency 650 Hz from a distant source passes through a doorway 1.10 m wide in a sound-absorbing wall. Find (a) the number and (b) the angular directions of the diffraction minima at listening positions along a line parallel to the wall.
Two out of phase loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.30 m from one speaker and 2.60 m from the other. What is the third lowest frequency at which constructive interference will occur? The speed of sound in air is 338 m/s.
Two loudspeakers in a 40 C room emit 650 Hz sound waves along the x-axis. If the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is destructive?
Two loudspeakers, A and B, are separated by a distance of 2.0 m. The speakers emit sound waves at a frequency of 680 Hz that are exactly out of phase. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What are the next three distances from speaker A along the +x axis will a points of destructive interference occur?
Two loudspeakers placed 6 m apart are driven in phase by an audio oscillator whose frequency range is 950 Hz to 1350 Hz. A point P is located 5 m from one loudspeaker and 3.5 m from the other. The speed of sound is 350 m/s. The frequency produced by the oscillator, for which constructive interference of sound occurs at point P, is closest to what?
The figure shows a loudspeaker A and point C, where a listener is positioned. [AC| = 4.50 m and the angle 8 = 42 °. A second loudspeaker B is located somewhere to the left of A. Both speakers vibrate in phase and are playing a 69.0 Hz tone. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. Excluding point (A), what is the fourth closest to speaker A that speaker B can be located, so that the listener hears maximum sound?
A speaker, speaker A, is 2.00 m in front of you playing a single frequency 35.00Hz.* A second speaker, speaker B, is placed behind speaker A, further from you and along the line from you to speaker A. The speaker B plays the same frequency and the difference in phase constant between the two speakers is Δ øo = π /2. a) At what distance from you, further than the first speaker, do you need to place the second speaker so that there is total deconstructive interference, amplitude zero at all times, at your location? Assume 20 oc. There are a discrete set of infinite answers and I will accept any of them.
. Two loudspeakers A and B are driven by the same amplifier and emit pure sinusoidal waves in phase. (a) For what frequencies does constructive interference occur at point P? (b) For what frequencies does destructive interference occur at point P? The speed of sound is 350 m/s.
