Указания
DO NOT OPEN THIS TEST UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO BEGIN
Work Part A first. You have 90 minutes to complete all four problems.
After you have completed Part A, you may take a break.
Then work Part B. You have 90 minutes to complete both problems.
Show all your work. Partial credit will be given.
Start each question on a new sheet of paper. Be sure to put your name in the upper right-hand corner of each page, along with the question number and the page number/total pages for this problem. For example,
Doe, Jamie
A1 – 1/3
A hand-held calculator may be used. Its memory must be cleared of data and programs. You may use only the basic functions found on a simple scientific calculator. Calculators may not be shared. Cell phones, PDA’s, or cameras may not be used during the exam or while the exam papers are present. You may not use any tables, books, or collections of formulas.
Questions with the same point value are not necessarily of the same difficulty.
Do not discuss the contents of this exam with anyone until after the submission deadline.
Good luck!

Условие
Sound sources S and S are located at and , respectively. The sources produce tones with the same phase and amplitude. The frequency can be varied from 175 Hz to 625 Hz, but both speakers have the same frequency. Use 340 m/s for the velocity of sound in air and m.

a. For which frequency or frequencies in the above range is minimum sound intensity heard at all points along the -axis with . [8 т.]
b. Next consider the region on the -axis between the two sound sources S and S. Assuming that the amplitude does not decrease with distance from the source, write an equation that gives the resultant sound wavefunction in the form , where and are functions of and , respectively. The equation may also depend on the wavelength and frequency of the sound waves and should be valid for all points on the -axis with . [10 т.]
c. For the frequency or frequencies found in Part (a), at which points between m and m does minimum sound intensity occur? [7 т.]
Отговори
- a. 300 Hz and 500 Hz
- b.
- c. For f = 300 Hz: x = ±0.283 m; for f = 500 Hz: x = ±0.170 m, ±0.510 m

A3. a. In order for minimum sound intensity to be heard in the region along the -axis with , the distance between sources must be an odd half-integer multiple of the wavelength .
where , the velocity of sound in air, and , the frequency of the sound that produces minimum intensity. Solving for the frequency
The frequencies in the possible range are
and
b. In the region between the sources, source S emits a wave that travels to the left and source S emits a wave that travels to the right.
where and .
Adding the waves to determine the resultant wave
Note: This equation has the correct -dependence. The waves travel the same distance to reach . This point is an interference maximum. Any expression with
where is a phase constant is valid.
c. Minimum sound intensity occurs when , i.e., . Solving for ,
For Hz:
For Hz:
with .
