Two identical loudspeakers are driven in phase by the same amplifier. The speakers are positioned a distance of 3.2 m apart. A person stands 5.0 m away from one speaker and 6.2 m away from the other. Calculate the second lowest frequency that results in destructive interference at the point where the person is standing. Assume the speed of sound to be 330 m/ s. A) 183 Hz B) 275 Hz C) 413 Hz D) 137 Hz E) 550 Hz

Answer from: treyvoniskewl

C) 413 Hz

Explanation:

For destructive interference, the path difference ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ where ΔL = L₂ - L₁ where L₁ = person's distance from one speaker (the closer one) = 5.0m and L₂ = person's distance from other speaker (the farther one) = 6.2 m and λ = wavelength = v/f where v = speed of sound = 330 m/s and f = frequency

So, ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ

L₂ - L₁ = (n + 1/2)v/f

f = (n + 1/2)v/(L₂ - L₁)

At the second lowest frequency that results in destructive interference at the point where the person is standing, n = 1.

So,

f = (1 + 1/2)v/(L₂ - L₁)

f = 3v/2(L₂ - L₁)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

f = 3v/2(L₂ - L₁)

f = 3(330 m/s)/2(6.2 m - 5.0 m)

f = 3(330 m/s)/2(1.2 m)

f = 990 m/s ÷ 2.4 m)

f = 412.5 Hz

f ≅ 413 Hz

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
