A riverside warehouse has several small doors facing the river. Two of these doors are open as shown in Figure P27.17. The walls of the warehouse are lined with sound-absorbing material. Two people stand at a distance L = 150 in from the wall with the open doors. Person A stands along a line passing through the midpoint between the open doors, and person B stands a distance y = 20 m to his side. A boat o the river sounds its horn. To person A, the sound is loud and clear. To person B, the sound is barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is 5.00 m. Assuming person B is at the position of the first minimum, determine the distance d between the doors, center to center.
A room is 6.0 m long and 3.0 m wide. At the front of the room, along one of the 3.0-m-wide walls, two loudspeakers are set 1.0 m apart, with the center point between them coinciding with the center point of the wall. The speakers emit a sound wave of a single frequency and a maximum in sound intensity is heard at the center of the back wall, 6.0 m from the speakers. What is the highest possible frequency of the sound from the speakers if no other maxima are heard anywhere along the back wall?
Two loudspeakers in a 40 C room emit 650 Hz sound waves along the x-axis. If the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is destructive?
Two out of phase loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.30 m from one speaker and 2.60 m from the other. What is the third lowest frequency at which constructive interference will occur? The speed of sound in air is 338 m/s.
Two loudspeakers placed 6 m apart are driven in phase by an audio oscillator whose frequency range is 950 Hz to 1350 Hz. A point P is located 5 m from one loudspeaker and 3.5 m from the other. The speed of sound is 350 m/s. The frequency produced by the oscillator, for which constructive interference of sound occurs at point P, is closest to what?
Two loudspeakers, placed on opposite walls of a 10m long room, emit pure sine waves at f= 170 Hz coherently. If we were exactly in the middle of the room, where the interference of waves is constructive, what is the shortest distance we should travel towards one of the speakers so that the waves cancel out completely?" Assume that the speed of sound at air is 340 m/s.
The two speakers are placed 40.0 cm apart. A single oscillator makes the speakers vibrate in phase at a frequency of 1.98 kHz. At what angles, measured from the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the speakers, would a distant observer hear maximum sound intensity? Minimum sound intensity?

Enter the magnitude of the angle only.)maximum intensities: (List smallest magnitude angle first.)?1max = ?2max = ?3max = minimum intensities: (List smallest magnitude angle first.)?1min = ?2min =
Two small speakers, 0.610 m apart, are facing in the same direction. They are driven by one 685 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 he position himself? (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 he position himself now? (Enter your answer in m.) m
A speaker, speaker A, is 2.00 m in front of you playing a single frequency 35.00Hz.* A second speaker, speaker B, is placed behind speaker A, further from you and along the line from you to speaker A. The speaker B plays the same frequency and the difference in phase constant between the two speakers is Δ øo = π /2. a) At what distance from you, further than the first speaker, do you need to place the second speaker so that there is total deconstructive interference, amplitude zero at all times, at your location? Assume 20 oc. There are a discrete set of infinite answers and I will accept any of them.
Two in-phase loudspeakers are placed 6.00 m apart along one wall of a room. They emit sound with a frequency of 512Hz. Starting at the location of one of the loudspeakers, a microphone is moved in a direction perpendicular to the wall until constructive interference is detected for the first time. How far is the microphone from the wall at that point? The speed of sound in air is 330 m/s. a) 0.203 m b) 0.282 m c) 0.664 m d) 0.138 m 0.141 m

Mr. Daryl is giving an announcement, and he can be heard up to 30m. If you are standing 35m east and 25m south of Mr. Daryl, will you be able to hear his announcement? a. Yes, because I am only about 18.02 meters away from him. b. No, because I am about 43.01 meters away from him. C. Yes, because I am only about 25 meters away from him. d. No, because I am about 35 meters away from him.
