Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High-frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength 8.70 cm passes through a narrow slit 12.5 cm wide. A microphone is placed 45.0 cm directly in front of the center of the slit, corresponding to point O in the figure 36.5a in the textbook. The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point O.At what minimal distance from O will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero?

Please show all your work. A source of sound is located in a room a distance “L” from a wall. The room temperature is 72°F. AN observer is located between the source and the wall at 103 cm from the wall. The observer can hear a loud sound at the 3rd harmonic and the sound fades at the 4th harmonic. What is the velocity of sound in the room? What is the frequency at which the observer can hear the...
