Playing with sound is one way to alleviate boredom on my spacecraft. I found a dB meter and started measuring how loud they were. (a) I found two deafening pings that differed in loudness by 4.2 dB. What the ratio of the intensity of the louder sound to that of the softer one? (b) If one sound is 100 times as intense as another, by how much do they differ in sound intensity level (in decibels)?

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.

Two loudspeakers emit 500 Hz sound waves with an amplitude of 1cm. Speaker 2 is 1.00m behind speaker 1, and the phase difference between the speakers is 90 degree . (I) What is the phase difference of the sound wave at a point 2.00 m in front of speaker 1? (II) What is the minimum distance between the two speakers such that the observer at this position hears the minimal sound? (6 points)

Two separate, coherent lasers generate waves whose wavelengths are 0.1m. The two waves travel and arrive at a particular point. If one wave travels 1 m and the other travels 2 m, what type of interference pattern occurs at this point? Give some examples of your answer in your daily life. Two separate, coherent lasers generate waves whose wavelengths are 1 m. The two waves travel and arrive at a particular point. If one wave travels 2 m and the...

Problem 6:   Two students are standing the same distance from a source of sound. The first student receives a power of 246 × 10-6 W in their eardrum. The second student receives σ = 1.17 times more power in their eardrum. (A) If the second student's eardrum has a diameter of d = 1 cm what was the intensity of the sound that the student heard, in watts per square meter? (B) In this problem take the speed of sound...

Two stereo speakers mounted 4.52 m apart on a wall emit identical sound waves. You are standing at the opposite wall of the room at a point directly between the two speakers. You walk 2.11 m parallel to the wall to a location where you first notice that the sound intensity is much less. If the wall along which you are walking is 13.3 m from the wall with the speakers, what is the wavelength of the sound waves? (Answer:...

Two identical loudspeakers 2.20 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standing 4.00 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound. What is the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible?
