Two loudspeakers, A and B (the figure (Figure 1)), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the sound waves produced by the loudspeakers is 206 Hz. Consider point P between the speakers and along the line connecting them, a distance to the right of speaker A. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point P.

What frequency is received by a mouse just before being dispatched by a hawk flying at it at 25.0 m/s and emitting a screech of frequency 3500 Hz? Take the speed of sound to be 331 m/s.
If a large housefly 3.0 m away from you makes a noise of 40.0 dB, what is the noise level of 1000 flies at that distance, assuming interference has a negligible effect?
A loudspeaker, mounted on a tall pole, is engineered to emit 75% of its sound energy into the forward hemisphere, 25% toward the back. You measure an 85dB sound intensity level when standing 3.5m in front of and 2.5m below the speaker. What is the speaker's power output?
Two identical loudspeakers placed 3.00 m apart are driven by the same oscillator (as shown). A listener is originally at point O, located 8.00 m from the center of the line connecting the two speakers. The listener then moves to point P, which is a perpendicular distance 0.350 m from O, and she experiences the first minimum in sound intensity. What is the frequency ofthe oscillator?
Loudspeakers can produce intense sounds with surprisingly small energy input in spite of their low efficiencies. Calculate the power input needed to produce a 90.0-dB sound intensity level for a 12.0-cmdiameter speaker that has an efficiency of 1.00%. (This value is the sound intensity level right at the speaker.)
Two speakers are placed next to one another, D = 2.45 meters apart. They both emit a singlenote, A, which has a frequency of 560 Hz. A person stands directly in line with the two speakers, asshown. What is the minimum distance, d, away from the speaker on his left that he should stand sothat will he will no longer hear the note?
Two speakers connected to the same frequency generator emit a sound with afrequency of 500 Hz. As a person walks around in the room, he finds areas wherethe sound becomes loud and clear and areas where it is more muffled. At one spotwhere the sound is a maximum, the student is 3.2 m from one speaker. What isthe closest possible distance he could be to the other speaker?
Two loud speakers are 3m apart. A person is listening to a single pitch at 680Hz. Theperson is along the back wall, which is reasonably far, what are two directions from the center ofthe speakers where the person would expect to have the music loud? Repeat for two directionsthat are quiet.The person is now standing at the location that is 4m directly in front of one of thespeakers. Determine whether that position is loud, quiet or somewhere between the twoextremes. Explain. Use a diagram to help. [Note: Do not assume the person is far away.Comment on why that makes a difference.]
A 21.9 Hz oscillator is connected to two identical speakers located at a distance d = 10.2 m from each other, as shown in the figure. Paul holds a device that measures sound intensity as he walks from speaker s, to speaker s,. Location P on the figure indicates the location of minimum intensity between s, and s, that is furthest away from s,. How far is location P from speaker s,? The speed of sound is 343 m/s. m S2 d S1
Two small loudspeakers, A and B (Fig. ), are driven by the same amplifierand emit pure sinusoidal waves in phase. (a) For what frequenciesdoes constructive interference occur at point P? (b) For what frequenciesdoes destructive interference occur? The speed of sound is 350 m/s.
You sit in the center of a room that includes an amazing surround-sound system, consistingof 10 speakers (all of which are equidistant from your ears). You play a tone from all 10 speakersat once, but they have randomly-distributed relative phases, so you hear the same volume as ifyou turned up the power coming through a single speaker by a factor of 10. From this arrangementyou hear the tone at an intensity level of 35 dB. Next you reconfigure the speakers so that theyplay the tones in phase. If the volume of each speaker is the same as before, what is the decibellevel of this new sound?
Two loudspeakers, A and B (Fig. ), are driven by thesame amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 mto the right of speaker A. Consider point Q along the extension ofthe line connecting the speakers, 1.00 m to the right of speaker B.Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker topoint Q. What is the lowest frequency for which (a) constructive interferenceoccurs at point Q; (b) destructive interference occurs at point Q?
