Explanation / Answer

given two loud speakers, A and B

frequency = f

speed of sound in air = s

a. let teh distance form B where there is destructive interference be x

then

path difference = p

p = sqrt(y^2 + x^2) - x

for destructive interference

p = (2n - 1)lambda/2

hence

(2n - 1)lambda/2 = sqrt(y^2 + x^2) - x

where n = 1, 2, 3, ..

b. for there to be no location where destructive interference happens

x should not exist for n = 1 as well

hence

lambda/2 = sqrt(y^2 + x^2) - x

we can write p = y/sin(theta) - y/tan(theta)

this is a linearly increasing plot

hence, p < 0.5*lambda

hence

for n = 1

sqrt(y^2 + x^2) - x < 0.5*lambda

y/sin(theta) - y/tan(theta) < 0.5*lambda

lambda*f = c

hence

lambda= c/f

sqrt(y^2 + x^2) - x < 0.5*c/f

or

f < 0.5c/x(sqrt(y^2/x^2 + 1) - 1)

sound of ships sonar frequency, fa

speed of sound in water = u

a. wavelength emmitted by source = lambda = c/fa

b. frequency hear by whale f = (u + uw)fa/u

wavelength = c/f = uc/(u + uw)fa

hence

difference

d(lambda) = c/fa - uc/(u + uw)fa = (c/fa)(1 - u/(u + uw))
