Compliment:
According to an article I've read on the internet, destructive interference occurs when ϕ1-ϕ2=180°
What I did was :
ϕ1+(π/3)=π

Normally, she would play the key along with her D4 tuning fork and tune the piano to match, but her D4 tuning fork is missing. Instead, she plays the errant key along with her C4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 261.6 Hz), displays the resulting waveform on a handheld oscilloscope, and measures a beat frequency of 50.3 Hz. Then, she plays the errant key along with her E4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 329.6 Hz) and measures a beat frequency of 17.7 Hz. a. What frequency is being played by the out‑of‑tune key? 211.3 Hz 311.9 Hz 18.2 Hz 347.3 Hz 279.3 Hz b. If the D4 key is supposed to produce a frequency of 293.7 Hz, is the frequency of the key lower than it should be ("flat") or higher than it should be ("sharp")? flat sharparrow_forward4 QUESTON 5 SHOW ALL WORK 5) Marcelo is facilitating the class with his normal voice.

(a) Waves 1 and 2 are precisely in phase with one another at t = 0. If you look at the sum of the two waves, you can see that the amplitude of their sum drops to zero at one particular time between 50 and 100 ms (there are lots of places where the sum is zero, but only one place where the envelope enclosing the fast oscillations is zero, and that's the point we're interested in). Precisely when is the time, between 50 and 100 ms, when the amplitude of the sum is zero?(b) How many periods does this time correspond to for wave 1? You can get a pretty accurate idea of this by counting peaks on the wave 1 graph, but you should calculate it accurately.(c) How many periods does this time correspond to for wave 2? Note the difference between your answers for parts (b) and (c). It should be exactly half a period, which is why the waves experience completely destructive…arrow_forward
