Randall D. Knight β Superposition: Problem Problem_61
Two loudspeakers emit sound waves of the same frequency along the $x$-axis. The amplitude of each wave is $a$. The sound intensity is minimum when speaker 2 is $10 \text{ cm}$ behind speaker 1. The intensity increases as speaker 2 is moved forward and first reaches maximum, with amplitude $2a$, when it is $30 \text{ cm}$ in front of speaker 1. What is (a) The wavelength of the sound? (b) The phase difference between the two loudspeakers? (c) The amplitude of the sound (as a multiple of $a$) if the speakers are placed side by side?
π Solution Approach
Given: 2a
Find: (a) The wavelength of the sound?; (b) The phase difference between the two loudspeakers?; (c) The amplitude of the sound
