Quiz 1 1.

Diagram below shows the pattern of a water wave travelling towards a narrow opening between two sea walls in a harbour.

a. Name the phenomenon that takes place in the diagram above. ___________________________________________________________ b. The distance between two neighbouring straight lines is equal to the wavelength, . Explain what is meant by the wavelength, , of the water wave is 2 m. ___________________________________________________________ c. If the frequency of the water wave is 6 Hz, calculate the speed of the water wave.

d. Draw on the diagram above, the wave pattern after the wave has passed through the narrow slit between the sea walls. 2. Two loudspeakers, A and B, are connected to a signal generator as shown in diagram below. The frequency of the signal generator is fixed at 1100 Hz. A student, walking along the line XY, hears strong and weak sounds alternately.

a. Name the phenomenon which produces the alternating loudness of the sound. ___________________________________________________________ b. State one condition for the phenomenon in (a) to occur. ___________________________________________________________ c. Explain why i. A strong sound is heard by the student at point P. _____________________________________________________ ii. Sound cannot be heard by the student at point Q. _____________________________________________________ d. The speed of sound in air is 330 m/s. What is the wavelength of the sound produced by the loudspeaker?

e. The distance between the loudspeakers is 60 m and the line XY is 2.0 m away from the loudspeakers. Calculate the distance between P and Q.
