Answer #1

Sound intensity

Where,

  • is frequency of sound,
  • is the amplitude of the sound wave particle displacement,
  • is density of medium in which sound is traveling,
  • c is speed of sound

In the given problem everything except frequency are equal for two sound waves.

Therefore

I1/I2 = f12/f22

= 1.62/1

= 2.56

Ans : 2.56

Two loudspeakers, 1.4 m apart, emit sound waves with the same frequency along the positive x-axis. Victor, standing on the axis to the right of the speakers, hears no sound. As the frequency is slowly tripled, Victor hears the sound go through the sequence loud-soft-loud-soft-loud before becoming quiet again. What was the original sound frequency? Assume room temperature of 20∘C.
