takes place.

9. Two loudspeakers are connected to the same signal generator so that the
loudspeakers can act as two sources of similar sound waves. What would you
hear if you were to walk along in front of these two speakers?

10. In an experiment, the distance between two sources of vibration is 2.0 cm
and the distance between the source of vibration and a screen is 40.0 cm. If
the distance between two adjacent lines of antinodes is 8.0 cm, calculate the
wavelength of waves produced by the sources of vibration.
2. The diagram shows the fringe pattern produced from Youngs double slit
experiment using the monochromatic red light source.
4. In Youngs double slit experiment, red fringes are formed on the screen when
a red light red source is used.
What will be observed if the red light source is replaced by a blue light source?
A. number of fringes decreases
B. brightness of fringes increases
C. distance between fringes decreases
5 .The following figure shows pattern of water waves produced when two
vibrating dipper S1 and S2 are used as the sources to produce similar waves.
Dippers S1 and S2 are both connected to a straight piece of wood which is
moved by a motor.

7.Two similar loudspeakers are placed 0.8m apart. They emit a coherent sound
wave. A girl walks slowly parallel to the two loudspeakers at a distance 3.2 m
in front of the loudspeakers. She hears a loud sound and weak sound
alternately. Figure 2.1 shows the positions of the loud and weak sounds
(c)The loud sound is heard due to the constructive interference of the sound
waves. State how the constructive interference occurs.

1. bigger,constructive interference
2. zero, destructive interference
3.When two waves pass a point at the same time, the resultant displacement of
the wave at that point is the sum of the displacements of the individual waves
