Exploring Wave Interference and Diffraction Phenomena in Sound Physics

Dive into the Principle of Linear Superposition and discover Constructive and Destructive Interference effects, Standing Waves, and Diffraction in speakers. Learn how to apply these concepts to noise-canceling headphones and high-frequency sound production in small-diameter tweeters.

  1. Chapter 17

  2. CHAPTER 17 The Principle of Linear Superposition and Interference Phenomena Interference Constructive and Destructive Interference: BEATS Standing Waves: Transverse-Stringed Instruments and Longitudinal-Wind Instruments. Diffraction Speakers

  3. 17.1 The Principle of Linear Superposition When two or more waves are present simultaneously at the same place, the resultant disturbance is the sum of the disturbances from the individual waves. Concept Simulation 17.1 http://www3.interscience.wiley.com:8100/legacy/college/cutnell/0471151831/concepts/index.htm

  4. Constructive Interference of Sound Waves

  5. Constructive Interference of Sound Waves Wavelength = λ = 1 m Path difference = 0

  6. Destructive Interference

  7. Destructive Interference Wavelength = λ = 1 m Path difference = λ/2= 0.5 m

  8. Figure 17.5  Noise-canceling headphones utilize destructive interference

  9. 17.3 Diffraction

  10. 17.3 Diffraction Diffraction is the bending of a wave around an obstacle or the edges of an opening.

  11. Diffraction of Sound

  12. First Minimum

  13. Figure 17.13  Small-diameter speakers, called tweeters, are used to produce high-frequency sound. The small diameter helps to promote a wider dispersion of the sound.
