An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Outside the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 610 Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.840 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Explanation:

v = 340m/s = speed of sound

f = 610Hz

d = 0.840m

λ = ?

Mλ = wsinθ

m = mth order minima

λ = wavelength incident on the single slit

θ = angular position of the mth minima

But, λ = v / f

λ = 340 / 610 = 0.557m

θ = sin⁻(mλ/d)

θ = sin⁻ [(1 * 0.557) / 0.840]

θ = sin⁻ 0.6635

θ = 41.57°

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.
