5. Two small identical speakers, which are connected to the same source (i.e. they are in phase with one another [AO = 0] and both create sound with the same frequency). Both speakers put out sound waves with a wavelength of 2.0 meters. Speaker 1 and speaker 2 are 3.0 meters apart and at ear level. An observer stands at point X, 4.0 meters in front of speaker 1 as shown in the diagram. 3 m a. What is the path length difference (Ar), in meters, between sound waves originating from speaker 2 compared to sound waves originating from speaker 1 at point X (i.e. the location of the observer)? 4 m b.

Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at the ear just 1.00 ms apart. What is the minimum distance (in cm) between two speakers that produce sounds that arrive at noticeably different times on a day when the speed of sound is 348 m/s? cm
One cue your hearing system uses to localize a sound (i.e., to tell where a sound is coming from) is the slight difference in the arrival times of the sound at your ears. Your ears are spaced approximately 20 cm apart. Consider a sound source 5.0 m from the center of your head along a line 45∘ to your right. What is the difference in arrival times? Give your answer in microseconds. Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation?
An audio system is emitting a sound at a frequency of 676 Hz through two speakers separated by a distance d = 0.620 m. What's the shortest distance for a person to hear maximum intensity if he was facing the speaker on the right (see picture).
There are two speakers on the x-axis and they are positioned such that one is behindthe other. Both speakers emit a wave with the same frequency and amplitude, alongthe x-axis, which we denote as f and a. The sound intensity is maximum, withamplitude 2a, when speaker 2 is 10 cm behind speaker 1. The intensity decreases asspeaker 2 is moved forward and first reaches a minimum when it is 20 cm in front ofspeaker 1. What is:1. The phase difference between the two loudspeakers?2. The amplitude of the sound (as a multiple of a) if the speakers overlap?
Good day, Maam/Sir. I hope you can help me to my study. Thank you!! Topic: Sound and Hearing Problem: A baby’s mouth is 40.0cm from her father’s ear and 4.00m from her mother’s ear. What is the difference between the sound intensity levels heard by the father and by the mother?
Two speakers sit 4.0m apart. Each is playing the same pure tone, of a single frequency sinusoidal sound wave. For simplicity, we can place these on the y-axis at y = +2.0m and at y = -2.0m. You stand on the centerline between the speakers, and 10.0m in front of them (this would be at y = 0m, x = 10.0m) At this location, you hear maximum intensity sound, a.k.a. constructive interference. You then walk in the +y direction until you hear a minimum intensity of sound, a.k.a. destructive interference. This happens when you reach y = 2.5m. (Your coordinates would now be x = 10.0, y = 2.5.) Interference is based on path length differences form different sources to the same detection point. Identify the paths from the two different speakers to the first observation point (10,0). How long is each of these paths?
Two loudspeakers, A and B (Fig. ), are driven by thesame amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 mto the right of speaker A. Consider point Q along the extension ofthe line connecting the speakers, 1.00 m to the right of speaker B.Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker topoint Q. What is the lowest frequency for which (a) constructive interferenceoccurs at point Q; (b) destructive interference occurs at point Q?
You are picking up your partner from a mall. Though you can see your partner, your partner cannot see you. You proceed to yell, hoping that the sound of your voice will help direct your location.

A coyote can locate a sound source with good accuracy by comparing the arrival times of a sound wave at its two ears. Suppose a coyote is facing a bird and listening to it whistle at 1000 HzHz . The bird is 3.0 mm away, directly in front of the coyote’s right ear. The coyote’s ears are 15 cmcm apart on a line perpendicular to the right ear-bird line.What is the difference in the arrival time of the sound at the left ear and the right ear? Hint: You are looking for the difference between two numbers that are nearly the same. What does this near equality imply about the necessary precision during intermediate stages of the calculation?What is the ratio of this time difference to the period of the sound wave?
