Chapter 36: Problem 5
Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High- frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength 9.00 cm passes through a slit 12.0 cm wide. A microphone is placed 8.00 m directly in front of the center of the slit, corresponding to point \(O\) in Fig. 36.5a. The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point \(O\). At what distances from \(O\) will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero?
