(a)What is the phase shift, in radians, if the amplitude of the resulting wave is 1.75 times the amplitude of the individual waves? (b) What is the phase shift in degrees? (c) What is the phase shift as a percentage of the individual wavelength?
Using the concept of diffraction, discuss how the sound from a concert stage is affected if you sit behind a large pillar (greater than 1 m wide) near the middle of the concert hall. Is the answer different for treble (shorter-wavelength) or bass (longer-wavelength) sounds? Explain your answer.
1) A student standing in a canyon yells "echo", and her voice produces a sound wave of frequency of f = 0.65 kHz. The echo takes t = 3.9 s to return to the student. Assume the speed of sound through the atmosphere at this location is v = 325 m/s. a) What is the wavelength of the sound wave in meters? b) Input an expression for the distance, d, the canyon wall is from the student. c) How many wavelengths are between the student and the wall?
Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field.The time delay for spectator A is 0.23 s, and for spectator B it is 0.12 s. Sight lines from the two spectators to the player kicking the ball meet at an angle of 90. How far are (a) spectator A and (b) spectator B from the player? (c) How far are the spectators from each other?
(a) Differentiate between interference and diffraction of light. (b) Explain in not more than 4 sentences how a destructive and constructive interference of light happen.
(a) Are sound waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves? (b) Would you expect sound waves to travel faster or slower in a medium like water as compared to air? (Think about how the particles must interact to move a sound wave – would this be easier if the particles were closer together, like in water?

You are on a 100 m long ship traveling North in the deep ocean and regular waves traveling North are passing by the ship. You observe the following : (1) when the ship bow is at a wavecrest, its stern is at a wave trough; (2) a different crest is at the bow every 20 s.a) Can the ship’s speed be determined with this information ?b) If no, what other piece(s) of information is required ?c) If yes, what is the ship speed ?
A child sits on a rock and notices that 3 wavelengths crash ashore in 45 seconds. a) What is the frequency of the waves crashing ashore? b). What is the period of the waves in this scenario?
Two speakers are driven by the same oscillator of frequency f. They are located a distance d from each other on a vertical pole. A man walks straight toward the lower speaker in a direction perpendicular to the pole as shown in Figure. (a) How many times will he hear a minimum in sound intensity? (b) How far is he from the pole at these moments? Let v represent the speed of sound and assume that the ground does not reflect sound. The man’s ears are at the same level as the lower speaker.
.(a) A French submarine and an American submarine move towards each other during maneuvers in motionless water in the Northern Atlantic. The French sub moves at speed of 55 km/h and the US sub at 75 km/h. The French sub sends out a sonar signal(sound wave in water) at 1,56 x 103 Hz. Sonar waves travel at 5470 km/h. What is the signal’s frequency as detected by the US sub? [5] What frequency is detected by the French sub in the signal reflected back to it by the US sub?
