Question
in a large room, a person receives direct sound wave from a source 120m away from him. he also receives wave from the same source which reaches him after being reflected from 25m high ceiling at apoint midway between them. the two waves interfere constructively for wavelength of
(1) 20, 20/3, 4
(2) 10, 5, 3.33
(3) 10, 20, 30
(4) 15, 25, 35
Joshi sir comment
path difference between two waves one coming directly (path length = 120 m) and other coming after reflection (path length = 130), you can get this by geometry
so path difference = 10 m
for constructive interference path difference should be a multiple of wavelength so (2) is answer
