Problem 5 Snapshots and History
(a) The figure on the left is a snapshot of a pulse traveling to the right at 1 m/s at time t = 0. Sketch y
versus t for the position x = 6 m from t = 0 to t = 6 s. (b) A different pulse also traveling to the right
at 1 m/s is shown in the right panel for the position x = 0. Sketch a snapshot of the pulse (y versus x)
for the time t = 1 s.

Two loudspeakers are placed side by side a distance d = 4.00 m apart. A listener observes
maximum constructive interference while standing in front of the loudspeakers, equidistant from
both of them. The distance from the listener to the point halfway between the speakers is 1 =
5.00 m.
One of the loudspeakers is then moved directly away from the other. Once the speaker is
moved a distance r = 60.0 cm from its original position, the listener, who is not moving,
observes destructive interference for the first time.
Find the speed of sound in the air if both speakers emit a tone of frequency 700 Hz.

- Two identical sources of sound separated by 2 m generate waves that are in phase with each other. The diagram shows a snapshot in time of the waves from the two sources, where the lines denote successive crests of the waves (solid lines from one and dashed lines from the other). 11 What is the wavelength λ of the waves? Provide a numerical answer. Draw the line on the diagram where the path difference of the waves from the two sources is always zero. Is the interference on this line constructive or destructive? Is this a nodal or an antinodal line? Mark points on the diagram where the path lengths from the two sources differ by X/2, X, 3A/2, and 2A.

- Learning Goal: To gain an understanding of constructive and destructive interference. Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength A, period T, and maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let y₁ (z, t) and y2 (x, t) represent the displacement of each wave at position at time t. If these waves were to be in the same location (2) at the same time, they would interfere with one another. This would result in a single wave with a displacement y (z, t) given by y(z, t) = y₁ (z, t) + y₂(z, t). This equation states that at time t the displacement y (x, t) of the resulting wave at position z is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the waves 1 and 2 at position z at time t. When the maximum displacement of the resulting wave is less than the amplitude of the original waves, that is, when y/max A, the waves are said to interfere constructively because the resulting wave is larger than…arrow_forward4.

- Observational experiment: Interactions of wave pulses Here, we'll explore what happens when two waves encounter each other in the same medium. 1. Observe and describe what happens when two pulses (coming from opposite directions) meet. Make sure your description is as detailed as possible, including: What happens to the wavelength of the wave that results when two waves of equal wavelength overlap? And, what happens to the amplitude of the resulting wave when two waves overlap?
