A loudspeaker having a diaphragm that vibrates at 1250 Hz is traveling at 80 m/s directly toward a pair of holes in a very large wall in a region for which the speed of sound is 344 m/s. You observe that the sound coming through the openings first cancels at 11.4 deg with respect to the original direction of the speaker when observed far from the wall.
How far apart are the two openings? What angles would the sound first cancel if the source stopped moving?
Two speakers are located 35.0 cm away. A simple oscillator makes them vibrate in phase at 2 kHz frequency. At what measured angles of the Mediatrix of the segment that joins the speakers, will a distant observer hear the maximum intensity of sound? (Take as fast sound 340 m/s).
For a diffraction horn loudspeaker, sound emerges through a rectangular opening. The opening of a diffraction horn has a width of 0.12 m. If the speaker emits a continuous tone with a wavelength of 0.09 m, at what angle does the first minimum occur?
