Question

5. Sound is traveling through a tube that splits and then recombines, as shown below. The difference in path between the two sides is 20 cm. What is the lowest frequency at which you would expect to experience destructive interference at the far end? Assume that the sound wave travels at 300 m/s. Incoming sound wave

Step 1

Destructive interference occurs when two waves of the same frequency meet in such a way that the crest of one wave aligns with the trough of another, resulting in a reduction in amplitude of the resultant wave. For sound waves traveling through air or a tube, this Show more…
