For a long time, most of hard rock musicians by working near high power loudspeakers, or by listening to loud music damaged their hearing. Some have lost their hearing relatively young, yet the others have developed serious hearing problems along tinnitus, i.e. continues ringing sensations. Recently powerful earplugs that protect musicians hearing during their performance are developed and many veteran Hard Rock musicians advocate their use. An earplug may reduce the sound level by 20 dB . With what factor If does such an earplug reduce the intensity of a sound, i.e. Find , where I i is the initial Ii intensity of a sound wave, and I f is the (reduced) final intensity of the sound heard by the user.

A vibrator is connected to a 1.80 m long string which is tied to a stable heavy rod on the other end. An oscilloscope is connected in parallel to the system with time-base of ms V 1.0 and 0.2 . The screen of the oscilloscope is shown in the figure square square below. The standing wave pattern of the whole string is illustrated in the next figure. Find the velocity of propagation of the wave in the string. [0/3/]

The speakers are 3 separated by as illustrated in the figure below. 2 a) Find the path difference between the sounds emitted by S1 and S2 at a point A that lie on the perpendicular bisector of S1S 2 at a distance greater than the wavelength of the sound emitted by the sources. What type of interference is produced at this point? [2/0] b) Find the path difference between the sounds emitted by S1 and S2 at a point B that lie on the line S1S 2 at a distance greater than the wavelength of the sound emitted by the sources, as shown in the figure. What type of interference is produced at this point? [1/1] S1S 2 with a c) Find the number of points on a circle, centered on the midpoint of radius much greater than on which the interference between the sound waves emitted by S1 and S2 is fully constructive.
