Two stereo speakers are each emitting a pure tone of 200 Hz, and the waves have the same phase as they leave each speaker. The speed of sound in the room is 330 m/s. You are standing between the speakers, 1.65m from one speaker and 4.95 from the other. What type of interference do you perceive? (first, calculate the wavelength of sound, then work out the distances to each speaker as a number of wavelengths) Answer choices, pick one: a) destructive b) partial c)none d) constructive
Two identical loudspeakers, A and B, are 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and emit 784 Hz sound waves in all directions. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point B along a line perpendicular to the line connecting A and B (line BC in the figure) At what distances from BB will there be destructive interference?
Wave X has amplitude A and wavelength ?. Its angular frequency is 3? rad/s, and it is traveling southwards. Wave Y also has amplitude A and wavelength ?, and is also traveling southwards. Its angular frequency is 5? rad/s. At time zero, the interference of X and Y is perfectly constructive. When will they next interfere this way?
Two speakers, speakers 1 and 2, located 0.750 m apart from each other, are creating sound waves with an identical frequency of 686 Hz and are in phase. Assume the speed of sound in the room is 343 m/s. Your ear is directly in line with the speakers. a) Do you hear a sound with maximum intensity, a sound with minimum intensity (ideally no intensity), or something in between at your location? b) You now go and stand directly in between the two speakers (0.375 m to the right of speaker 1 and 0.375 m to the left of speaker 2). Do you hear a sound with maximum intensity, a sound with minimum intensity (ideally no intensity), or something in between at your location?
Two narrow parallel slits separated by 0.850 mm are illuminated by 600-nm light, and the viewing screen is 2.80 m away from the slits.

The coherence length of a wavetrain is the distance over which the phase constant is the same.
