Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Question

Waves from a radio station have a wavelength of 3.00 102 m. They travel by two paths to a home receiver 20.0 km from the transmitter. One path is a direct path, and the second is by reflection from a mountain directly behind the home receiver. What is the minimum distance from the mountain to the receiver that produces destructive interference at the receiver? (Assume that no phase change occurs on reflection from the mountain.)

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 loudspeakers are mounted on a wall, one h = 3.34 m above the other. Exactly 8.00 meters to the right of the midpoint, a sensor rests at point O. Point O is equally distant from each loudspeaker. The loudspeakers are driven by the same tone generator and vibrate in phase at 460 Hz. It is possible to create a condition of destructive interference at Point O by changing one or both of the path lengths (r1 and r2) between speaker and sensor.
