Question

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.800 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 2.55 m from the midpoint of the two speakers.
What are the lowest two frequencies that produce an interference maximum at the microphones location. A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.800 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 2.55 m from the midpoint of the two speakers.

What are the lowest two frequencies that produce an interference maximum at the microphones location.

Explanation / Answer

distance from source to one speaker, r1 = 2.55 - 0.8/2

= 2.15 m

distance from source to second speaker, r2 = 2.55 + 0.8/2

= 2.95 m

so, path diffrence, r2 - r1 = 0.8 m

for interference maximum,
path diffrence, r2 - r1 = n*lamda (n = 1,2,3,4,...)

0.8 = n*(v/f)

0.8 = n*(340/f)

f = n*(340/0.8)

= 425*n (n = 1,2,3,4,.....)

so, f1 = 425 hz <<<<<<-------------Answer

f2 = 2*425

= 950 hz <<<<<<-------------Answer
