JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Waves

  • question_answer
    Two sound sources \[{{S}_{2}}\] and \[{{S}_{1}}\] emit pure     sinusoidal coherent waves in phase. If the   speed of sound is 340 m/s, then find out the     frequencies for which constructive interference   occurs at P.             

    A)  170 Hz

    B)  340 Hz

    C) 510Hz

    D) All of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Path difference, \[\Delta x={{S}_{2}}P-{{S}_{1}}P=\sqrt{(2{{\sqrt{10}}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}}-\sqrt{({{4}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}})}\] \[=7-5=2m\] For constructive interference, \[\Delta x=n\lambda ,\,\,\,where\,\,n=1,\,\,2,\,\,3,.......\] \[\Rightarrow \,f=\frac{nv}{\Delta x}=\frac{1\times 340}{2},\,\frac{2\times 340}{2},\frac{3\times 340}{2},.....\] \[=170\,Hz,\,\,340\,Hz,\,\,510\,Hz.....\]
