Amicrophone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. the microphone is 1.80 m from the midpoint of the two speakers. what are the lowest two frequencies that produce an interference maximum at the microphone's location?

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x   = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x   = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m   1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x   = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x   = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m     2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2  we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd  min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = (  1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength  = 0.342 m

frequency 2 =  velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz

one "light year" is the distance that light travels, through vacuum, in one julian year.   that's 365.25 days, of 24 hours each.

i do.
