Two speakers, emitting identical sound waves of wavelength 2.0 m in phase with each other, and an observer are located as shown in
Fig. E35.5. (a) At the observer's location, what is the path difference for waves from the two speakers?

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners at x = ─7.0 m and x = ＋3.0 m.a. What is the x-coordinate of the source?

The three identical loudspeakers in FIGURE P17.71 play a 170 Hz tone in a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s . You are standing 4.0 m in front of the middle speaker. At this point, the amplitude of the wave from each speaker is a.

c. When the amplitude is maximum, by what factor is the sound intensity greater than the sound intensity from a single speaker?

At this point, the amplitude of the wave from each speaker is a. b. How far must speaker 2 be moved to the left to produce a maximum amplitude at the point where you are standing?

FIGURE EX17.27 shows the circular wave fronts emitted by two wave sources. b. Make a table with rows labeled P, Q, and R and columns labeled r1 ,r2 , Δr , and C/D. Fill in the table for points P, Q, and R, giving the distances as multiples of λ and indicating, with a C or a D, whether the interference at that point is constructive or destructive.

Two radio antennas A and B radiate in phase. Antenna B is 120 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point Q along the extension of the line connecting the antennas, a horizontal distance of 40 m to the right of antenna B. The frequency, and hence the wavelength, of the emitted waves can be varied. (b) What is the longest wavelength for which there will be constructive interference at point Q?

Two speakers that are 15.0 m apart produce in-phase sound waves of frequency 250.0 Hz in a room where the speed of sound is 340.0 m>s. A woman starts out at the midpoint between the two speakers. The room's walls and ceiling are covered with absorbers to eliminate reflections, and she listens with only one ear for best precision. (c) How far from the center must she walk before she first hears the sound maximally enhanced?
