Two sound waves of frequencies 100Hz and 102Hz and having same amplitude 'A' are interfering. At a stationary detector, which can detect resultant amplitude greater than or equal to A. So, ina given time interval of 12 seconds, finds the total duration in which detector is active.

Answer»


Solution :`y_(1)=A SIN omega_(1) t`
`y_(2)=A sin omega_(2) t`
`y_(1)=2A cos {((omega_(2)-omega_(1)))/2}{"sin"((omega_(2)+omega_(1)))/2 t}`
Resultant amplitude `A_(r)=2A_(0)Icos(/_\omega)t//2I`
`(/_\omega)t/2=(pi)/2impliest=1/4s`
`(/_\omega)t/2=(pi)/3impliest=1/6s`
In one cycle of INTENSITY of `1//2s` the detector remain idle for
`2(1/4-1/2)s=1/6sec`
`:.` In `1//2` sec cyclem active time is `(1/2-1/6)`
`=1//3` sec
`:.` In `12` sec INTERVAL, active time is `12xx((1//3))/((1//2))=8SEC`
