This document provides information about sound waves, including:
- The wavelength of a 600 Hz sound wave is 0.567 m.
- Two loudspeakers emitting sound waves of different frequencies will produce alternating loud and soft sounds when heard from different locations due to constructive and destructive interference.
- When the width of an opening is comparable to the wavelength of a sound wave passing through, the sound will diffract around the opening.

At position the mid-point of P and Q. where destructive interference occurs, 6 (a) By v = f, soft sound is heard. Therefore, when the student walks along QR, alternate loud = = = 0.68 m and soft sounds are heard. The average wavelength of the sound is (b) The path difference from the two 0.68 m. loudspeakers is zero along PQ. Therefore, constructive interference occurs at all positions along PQ. = However, the further away from the loudspeakers, the softer the sound. As a = 2.21 result, when the student walks along PQ, The width of the doorway is 2.21 times (loud) sound with decreasing loudness is the average wavelength of the sound. heard. (b) Since the width of the doorway is 10 The loudspeaker emits sound waves in comparable to the wavelength of the different directions. Some waves are reflected sound, sound diffracts around the by the wall and interfere with the waves doorway when passing through it.

without reflection. At position where
constructive interference occurs, loud sound is detected. At position where destructive interference occurs, soft sound is detected. Therefore, when a microphone is moved along XY, alternating loud and soft sounds are detected.
