Get started for freeA supersonic jet traveling at Mach 2.0 at an altitude of 9500 m passes directly over an observer on the ground. Where will the plane be relative to the observer when the latter hears the sonic boom? (See Fig. 12-39.)
(II) The two sources of sound in Fig. 12โ16 face each other and emit sounds of equal amplitude and equal frequency (305 Hz) but 180ยฐ out of phase. For what minimum separation of the two speakers will there be some point at which (a) complete constructive interference occurs and (b) complete destructive interference occurs. (Assume T = 20ยฐC.)
Question: (I) (a) What resonant frequency would you expect from blowing across the top of an empty soda bottle that is 24 cm deep, if you assumed it was a closed tube? (b) How would that change if it was one-third full of soda?
One CD player is said to have a signal-to-noise ratio of 82 dB, whereas for a second CD player it is 98 dB. What is the ratio of intensities of the signal and the background noise for each device?
Question: (II) If the amplitude of a sound wave is made 3.5 times greater, (a) by what factor will the intensity increase? (b) By how many dB will the sound level increase?
