two loudspeakers facing each other are separated by 1.00 m and are excited in phase by a 1,100 Hz sine wave. Where will be the points on a line between speakers where there will be constructive interference, and where will be the points where there will be destructive interference

Respuesta :

Answer:

Condition of constructive interference is given as

x = 95 cm, 80 cm, 65 cm, 50 cm, 35 cm, 20 cm, 5 cm

condition of destructive interference we know that

x = 87.5 cm, 72.5 cm, 57.5 cm, 42.5 cm, 27.5 cm, 12.5 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the sound waves is 1100 Hz

now we can find the wavelength as

[tex]\lambda = \frac{c}{f}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]\lambda = \frac{330}{1100}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 30 cm[/tex]

now we know for the condition of constructive interference

Path difference = N[tex]\lambda[/tex]

[tex](1 - x) - x = N(0.30)[/tex]

[tex]1 - 2x = N(0.30)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1 - 0.30 N}{2}[/tex]

x = 95 cm, 80 cm, 65 cm, 50 cm, 35 cm, 20 cm, 5 cm

Similarly for condition of destructive interference we know that

Path difference = (2N + 1)[tex]\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

so we have

[tex](1 - x) - x = (2N + 1)(0.15)[/tex]

[tex]1 - 2x = N(0.30) + 0.15[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{0.85 - 0.30 N}{2}[/tex]

x = 87.5 cm, 72.5 cm, 57.5 cm, 42.5 cm, 27.5 cm, 12.5 cm

The points on a line between speakers where there will be destructive interference is; 0.172 m

How to find constructive and destructive interference?

From wave equations, we know that;

Wavelength;λ = f/v

Where v is speed of sound in air with a constant value of 344 m/s

Frequency; f = 1000 Hz

λ = v/f

λ = 344/1000

λ = 0.344 m

Constructive interference will occur when the two waves differ by a distance of nλ and when they have the same wavelength.

At constructive interference point, my distance from both speakers will be x.

Since the distance between speaker A and B is 1 m, then;

difference in path is;

nλ = 1 - x - x

nλ = 1 - 2x

Making x the subject, gives;

x = 1/2 - nλ/2

Plugging in 0.344 for λ gives;

x = 1/2 - n(0.344)/2

x = 1/2 - 0.172n

So, since it's at point 1, we'll label it accordingly.

Thus;

x_1 = 0.5 - 0.172(n_1)

Now, we know that destructive interference will occur when the two waves differ by a distance of; (½ + n)λ and when they have the same wavelength.

Thus,

1 - 2x = (½ + n)λ

Plugging in 0.344 for λ to give;

1 - 2x = 0.086 + 0.344n

x = 0.457 - 0.172n

Since second point, then;

x2 =  0.457 - 0.172(n_2)

To find out how far I must walk toward speaker B to move to a point of destructive interference, it will be;

x1 - x2 which gives;

0.5 - 0.172(n_1) - 0.457 - 0.172(n_2)

This gives;

0.043 - (0.172(n_1) - 0.172(n_2))

This means that 0.172 m is the distance since I have to subtract difference of 0.172 multiplied by the difference of n_1 and n_2 from 0.043.
