In a hall, a person receives direct sound waves from a source 120 m away. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the 25 m high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constructively for wavelengths (in metres)

In a large room , a person receives direct sound waves from a source 120 m away . He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the 5 - m high ceiling at a point halfway between them . For which wavelengths will these two sound waves interfere constructively ?

A thin glass slab G1 is held over a large glass slab G2, creating an air gap of uniform thickness t = 0.5 mum between them. Electromagnetic wave having wavelengths ranging from 0.4 mum "to" 1.15 mum is incident normally on the slab G1. When interference between waves reflected from boundaries of air gap (the two reflected waves are shown in fig as R1 and R2) was studied, it was found that only two wavelengths interfered constructively. One of these two wavelengths is lambda_(1) = 0.04 mum . Find the other wavelength (lambda_(2)) that interferes constructively.

A source S and a detector D are placed at a distance d apart. A big cardboard is placed at a distance sqrt(2) d from the source and the detector as shown in figure. The source emits a wave of wavelength = d//2 which is received by the detector after reflection from the cardboard. It is found to be in phase with the direct wave received from the source. By what minimum distance should the cardboard be shifted away so that the reflected wave becomes out of phase with the direct wave?

Two mirror M_(1) and M_(2) make an angle phi with line AB . A point source S is kept at a distance r from the point of intersection of mirror. A small hemispherical annular mask is kept close to S so that no ray emanting from S directly reaches the screen kept at a distance b from the source. Interference pattern of rays reflected from M_(1) and M_(2) is oberved on the screen. Find the fringe width of this interference pattern lambda= wavelength of light being emitted by source.

A person standing at a distance of 6 m from a source of sound receives sound wave in two ways, one directly from the source and other after reflection from a rigid boundary as shown in figure. The maximum wavelength for which, the person will receive maximum sound intensity, is
