You are working at an open-air amphitheater, where rock concerts occur regularly. The venue has powerful loudspeakers mounted on 10.6-m-tall columns at various locations surrounding the audience. The loudspeakers emit sound uniformly in all directions. There are ladder steps sticking out from the columns, to help workers service the loudspeakers. Many times, audience members break through the protective fencing around the columns and climb upward on the columns to get a better view of the performers. The upcoming concert is by a group that states that several very-high-volume pulses of sound occur in their concerts, and these sounds are part of their artistic expression. The amphitheater owners are worried about people climbing the columns and being too close to the loudspeakers when these peak sounds are emitted. They do not want to be held responsible for injuries to audience members ears. Based on past performances of the group, you determine that the peak sound level is 150 dB measured 20.0 cm from the speakers on the columns. The owners ask you to determine the heights on the columns at which to mount impassable barricades to keep people from getting too close to the speakers and hearing sound above the threshold of pain.
Two in-phase loudspeakers are placed 6.00 m apart along one wall of a room. They emit sound with a frequency of 512Hz. Starting at the location of one of the loudspeakers, a microphone is moved in a direction perpendicular to the wall until constructive interference is detected for the first time. How far is the microphone from the wall at that point? The speed of sound in air is 330 m/s. a) 0.203 m b) 0.282 m c) 0.664 m d) 0.138 m 0.141 m
A pair of in-phase stereo speakers is placed side by side, 0.704 m apart. You stand directly in front of one of the speakers, 2.34 m from the speaker. What is the lowest frequency that will produce constructive interference at your location?
There are two loudspeakers 3.0 m apart and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase.The speed of sound is 343 m/s. A person is standing directly in front of one of thetwo loudspeakers as shown in the figure and can only move along a line AB.a) Write the inherent phase difference.b) Write the pathlength difference in terms of x, which is a distance from thespeaker 1 to the person.c) At what distances x (calculate three values corresponding to integersm=0,1,2) from the speaker 1 do you hear a minimum sound intensity?
Two out of phase loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.30 m from one speaker and 2.60 m from the other. What is the third lowest frequency at which constructive interference will occur? The speed of sound in air is 338 m/s.
An oceanic depth-sounding ship surveys the ocean bottom near the Mariana Trench, the deepest known location under the ocean. They use ultrasonic sound that travels at 1430 m/s in sea water. They find a 15.4 s delay of the echo to the ocean floor and back. What is the depth?

If a plane wave is reflected from the ocean floor with a 15 dB reduction in amplitude at an angle of incidence of 30º, what are the possible values of the specific acoustic impedance of the fluid bottom material if it has a speed of sound of 1666m/s? Answers 1.011x^6 and 2.07x10^6 please if you don't get those answers you're doing it wrong, don't upload the wrong answer I would appreciate it.
Two loudspeakers are placed in line with each other in a 20°C room. Both speakers emit soundwaves of 857.5 Hz. What is the smallest distance between the speakers for which the sound waves will have destructive interference? What is the smallest distance for which they can have constructive interference?
Suppose that the separation between two speakers A and B is 4.90 m and the speakers are vibrating in-phase. They are playing identical 101-Hz tones and the speed of sound is 343 m/s. An observer is seated at a position directly facing speaker B in such a way that his line of sight extending to B is perpendicular to the imaginary line between A and B. What is the largest possible distance between speaker B and the observer, such that he observes destructive interference? Number i Units
A sound interference pattern is shown below. What is the path-length difference from the two speakers to the person, in terms of wavelength λ? none of the given 0.5λ 2λ λ 1.5λ 0
Two speakers separated by a distance of 4.30 m emit sound of frequency 221 Hz. The speakers are in phase with oneanother. A person listens from a location 2.80 m directly in front of one of the speakers. Does the person hear constructive or destructive interference?
Two identical loudspeakers, A and B, are 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and emit 784 Hz sound waves in all directions. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point B along a line perpendicular to the line connecting A and B (line BC in the figure) At what distances from BB will there be destructive interference?
