Question

Loudspeaker “A” produces a loud musical tone when played by itself. Loudspeaker “B” also produces the same loud musical tone when played by itself. However, when both loudspeakers are played together and close to each other, there is very little sound heard. Is this possible? Yes, because of constructive interference. No, because the resulting frequency is too high to hear. Yes, because of the Doppler effect. Yes, because of destructive interference. No, because the resulting sound must be louder than either speaker by itself.

two-loudspeakers-a-and-b-are-driven-by-the-same-amplifier-and-emit-sinusoidal-waves-in-phase-speak-3

Two loudspeakers, $A$ and $B,$ are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker $B$ is 12.0 $\mathrm{m}$ to the right of speaker $A$ . The frequency of the waves emitted by each speaker is 688 $\mathrm{Hz}$ You are standing between the speakers, along the line connecting them, and are at a point of constructive interference. How far must you walk toward speaker $B$ to move to a point of destructive interference? effects like those in parts (a) and (b) are almost never a factor in listening to home stereo equipment. Why not?

two-loudspeakers-a-meter-or-so-apart-emit-pure-tones-of-the-same-frequency-and-loudness-when-a-liste

Two loudspeakers a meter or so apart emit pure tones of the same frequency and loudness. When a listener wallks along a path parallel to the line that joins the loudspeakers, the sound is heard aiternating from loud to soft. What is going on?

00:01 This block is just start beginning to slide down so we need to calculate this normal force so we know that this normal force is equals to the mg times the cost theta and we need to calculate theta so for that our static friction is given since we know that this 10theta is point is 67 so that should be the 2x3 and since it's a 3 2x3 so this theta is nearly about to…
