Two speakers are spaced 15 m apart and are both producing an identical sound wave. You are standing at a spot as pictured. What would be the frequency produced by the speakers to create perfectly constructive interference? Assume n = 1 and v = 343 m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

Frequency is [tex]213.04\ s^{-1}.[/tex]

Explanation:

Distance between source 1 from the receiver , [tex]S_1 =\sqrt{10^2+22^2}=24.17\ m.[/tex]

Distance between source 2 from the receiver , [tex]S_2=\sqrt{5^2+22^2}=22.56\ m.[/tex]

Now ,

Path difference , [tex]r = S_1-S_2=24.17-22.56=1.61\ m.[/tex]

We know, for constructive interference path difference should be integral multiple of wavelength .  

Therefore, [tex]r=n\times \lambda[/tex]

It is given that n = 1,

Therefore, [tex]\lambda=1.61\ m.[/tex]

Frequency can be found by , [tex]\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}= \dfrac{343}{1.61}= 213.04\ s^{-1} .[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
