Sound exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. Such a loudspeaker is mounted outside on a pole. In winter, when the temperature is 273 K, the diffraction angle θ has a value of 19.5°. What is the diffraction angle for the same sound on a summer day when the temperature is 313 K?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta = 20.98 degree[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the sound is given as

[tex]v = 332 + 0.6 t[/tex]

now at t = 273 k = 0 degree

[tex]v = 332 m/s[/tex]

so we have

[tex]a sin\theta = N\lambda[/tex]

[tex]a sin\theta = N(\frac{v_1}{f})[/tex]

now when temperature is changed to 313 K we have

[tex]t = 313 - 273 = 40 degree[/tex]

now we have

[tex]v = 332 + (0.6)(40)[/tex]

[tex]v_2 = 356 m/s[/tex]

[tex]a sin\theta' = N(\frac{v_2}{f})[/tex]

now from two equations we have

[tex]\frac{sin19.5}{sin\theta} = \frac{332}{356}[/tex]

so we have

[tex]sin\theta = 0.358[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 20.98 degree[/tex]
