Two identical speakers, labeled Speaker 1 and Speaker 2, are playing a tone with a frequency of 225 Hz , in phase. The centers of the speakers are located 6.00 m apart. Five observers are standing on a line that is 6.00 m in front of the speakers, as shown in the figure. Each observer is separated by 1.00 m and Tom is directly in front of speaker 1. The speed of sound is 343 m/s for this problem. Determine which observer or observers will experience constructive interference from the sound emitted by the speakers.

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
There was an accident, and NASA engineers are trying to sort out where two of their Mars Rovers, Tango and Foxtrot, have landed. The engineers know that landing site A is much hotter than landing site B. Unfortunately, the only working sensors on Tango and Foxtrot measure the speed of sound. If Tango measures the speed of sound at its landing site as 240 m/s, while Foxtrot measures speed of sound as 258 m/s at its landing site, where has each rover landed?
A sound source A and a reflecting surface B move directly toward each other. Relative to the air, the speed of source A is 29.9 m/s, the speed of surface B is 65.8 m/s, and the speed of sound is 329 m/s. The source emits waves at frequency 1200 Hz as measured in the source frame. In the reflector frame, what are the (a) frequency and (b) wavelength of the arriving sound waves? In the source frame, what are the (c) frequency and (d) wavelength of the sound waves reflected back to the source?
A 100 g wire is held under a tension of 250 N with one end at x = 0 and the other at x = 10.0 m. At time t = 0, pulse 1 is sent along the wire from the end at x = 10.0 m. At time t = 30.0 ms, pulse 2 is sent along the wire from the end at x = 0.At what position x do the pulses begin to meet?
Two speakers vibrate in phase with each other at 523 Hz. At certain points in the room, the sound waves from the two speakers interfere destructively. One such point is 2.28 m from speaker #1 and is between 2 m and 4 m from speaker #2. (a) How far is this point from speaker #2. Find all possible distances between 2 m and 4 m. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
While chasing the person who released all the ping pong balls, an astronaut is screaming at 694Hz while moving towards the miscreant at 5.2 m/s. The prankster is fleeing, but at only 3.1 m/s. The air on the ISS is kept pretty close to standard pressure and temperature, so the speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what frequency does the prankster hear the yell? Do not actually solve the problem numerically or algebraically, just pick the one equation and define the relevant knowns and single unknown.
A source produces a sound wave with a frequency of 800 Hz in air such that the velocity of the sound is 343 m/s. Thesource is moving away from a stationary observer at a rate of 15 m/s. Are the following ratios greater than one, equal toone, or less than one? velocity of the sound measured by the observer/ (343 m/s) frequency of the sound measured by the observer/ (800Hz) wavelength of the sound as measured by the observer/ (0.429 m)
A pair of speakers separated by a distance d = 0.700 m are driven by the same oscillator at a frequency of 686 Hz. An observer originally positioned at one of the speakers begins to walk along a line perpendicular to the line joining the speakers as in Figure P14.37. (a) How far must the observer walk before reaching a relative maximum in intensity? (b) How far will the observer be from the speaker when the first relative minimum is detected in the intensity?
Observer 1 approaches a stationary 1000-Hz source of sound with a speed of 25 m>s.Observer 2 is at rest and an identical 1000-Hz source approaches her with a speed of25 m>s. Is the frequency heard by observer 1 greater than, less than, or equal to thefrequency heard by observer 2?
Student A runs after Student B. Student A carries a tuning fork ringing at 1024 Hz, and student B carries a tuning fork ringing at 1000 Hz. Student A is running at a speed of vA = 5.00 m/s and Student B is running at vB = 6.00 m/s. What is the beat frequency heard by each student? The speed of sound is v = 343.00 m/s.
An object explodes and its sound wave propagates through the sea where the temperature is 37°C. It also propagates through air with a 30°C temperature. What will be the difference in the arrival time between the two signals at a station that is 7.5 km away? (bulk modulus of seawater = 3X 10^10 N/m^2; seawater density = 1245 kg/m^3; molar mass of air is .049 kg)
