Two boats are anchored in the harbor, separated by a horizontal distance of 24 m. The boats bob up and down as waves enter the harbor. When one boat is at its highest point, the other is also at its highest point and there is one wave crest between them. Each boat makes exactly 6 complete up-and-down cycles every 36.0 s. The vertical distance between a boat's highest and lowest position is 2.4 m. Determine the wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude and speed of the waves. Include at least two significant digits on your answer. Wavelength (m): Frequency (Hz): Period (s): Amplitude (m): Speed (m/s):

Two small speakers, 0.680 m apart, are facing in the same direction. They are driven by one 666 Hz oscillator and therefore emit identical sound waves in phase with one another at the respective points of origin. (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.) Two speakers are side by side, with one speaker on the left and one on the right. The speakers are separated by a distance d and emit sound waves in the same direction. A man stands directly in front of the speaker on the right but a distance x away from the right speaker. (a) A listener wishes to stand in front of one of the speakers, at the closest point (i.e., smallest x-value) where intensity is at a relative maximum. At what distance x from the nearest speaker should she position herself? (Enter your answer in m.) m (b) The listener now wishes to stand at the closest point along that line where intensity is at a relative minimum. At what distance x should she position herself now? (Enter your answer in m.) m
