33. ANS:
Use the principle of superposition.
34. ANS:
You are experiencing a two-point source interference pattern between the two speakers. Since the speakers are
identical sources, there is a symmetrical pattern of alternating areas of constructive interference (louder areas)
and destructive interference (quieter areas) radiating outward from the speakers as the sound signals from each
speaker interfere with one another. As you walk across the back of the room, you are walking across this
pattern.
35. ANS:
Since the car is moving relative to you, the sound it makes is subject to the Doppler effect. As the car
approaches, its engine produces a sound with a higher apparent frequency than when the car is moving away, so
the pitch appears to change as the car races past you.
36. ANS:
Since the apparent frequency of the whistle is less than the true frequency, the train must be travelling away
from you. This is due to the Doppler effect.
37. ANS:
The inner ear contains the semicircular canals that are used for maintaining balance. If the inner ear has an
infection, these canals can also be affected, leading to problems with maintaining balance.
