Two sources of sound are separated by a distance of 4 m. They both emit sound with the same amplitude and frequency (330 Hz), but they are 180° out of phase. At what points between the two sources, will the sound intensity be maximum?

उत्तर
∴ λ = `"v"/"n"=330/330` = 1 m
The path difference between two sources of sound is zero when they are directly in the centre of each other. However, because the waves are 180° out of phase, two maxima on either side should be at a distance of `λ/4` from the centre. Other maxima will be located each `λ/2` along the way.
As a result, the maximum sound intensity will be ± 0.25, ± 0.75, ± 1.25, and ± 1.75 m from the point at the centre.

A traffic policeman sounds a whistle to stop a car-driver approaching towards him. The car-driver does not stop and takes the plea in court that because of the Doppler shift, the frequency of the whistle reaching him might have gone beyond the audible limit of 25 kHz and he did not hear it. Experiments showed that the whistle emits a sound with frequency closed to 16 kHz. Assuming that the claim of the driver is true, how fast was he driving the car? Take the speed of sound in air to be 330 m s−1. Is this speed practical with today's technology?
