A point source of sound is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners at x=-8 m and `x=+2.0 m` A third listener is positioned along the positive y-axis What is her y-coordinate (in m) if the same wave front reaches her at the same instant as it does the first two listeners?

Figure shows four isotropic point sources of sound that are uniformly spaced on an x axis. The sources emit sound at the same wavelength lamda and same amplitudes s_m and they emit in phase. A point P is shown on the x axis. Assume that as the sound waves travel to P, the decrease in their amplitude is negligible. What multiple of s_m is the amplitude of the net wave at P if distance d in the figure is (a) lamda//4 (b) lamda//2 and (c ) lamda ?

Two sound speakers are driver in phase by an audio amplifier at frequency 600 H_(Z) . The speed of sound is 340 m//s . The speakers are on the y - axis, one at y = + 1.0 m and the other at y = - 1.0 m . A listener begins at y = 0 and walks along a line parallel to the y - axis at a very large distance x away. (a) At what angle theta (between the line from the origin to the listener at the x - axis) will she first hear a minimum sound intensity? (b) At what angle will she first hear a maximum (afer theta = o^(@) ) sound intensity? (c ) How many maxima can she possible hear if she keeps walking in the same direction?
