Three sources of sound and of equal intensity are placed in a straight line with . At a point , far away from the sources, the wave coming from is ahead in phase of that from . Also, the wave coming from is ahead of that from . What would be the resultant intensity of sound at ?




Important Questions on Sound Waves
Two coherent narrow slits emitting sound of wavelength in the same phase, are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of . The sound is detected by moving a detector on the screen at a distance from the slit , as shown in the figure. Find the distance such that the intensity at is equal to the intensity at .

Figure shows two coherent sources and which emit sound of wavelength in phase. The separation between the sources is . A circular wire of large radius is placed in such a way that lies in its plane and the middle point of is at the centre of the wire. Find the angular positions on the wire for which constructive interference takes place.

Two sources of sound and vibrate at same frequency and are in phase. The intensity of sound detected at a point , as shown in the figure, is .
If equals , what will be the intensity of sound detected at this point, if one of the sources is switched off?
What will be the answer of the previous part, if ?
