Your ear is capable of differentiating sounds that arrive at the ear just 1.00 ms apart. What is the minimum distance between two speakers that produce sounds that arrive at noticeably different times on a day when the speed of sound is 340 m/s?

Answer:

the minimum distance between two speakers that produce sounds that arrive at noticeably different times is [tex]0.34meters[/tex]

Explanation:

Time: Δt=1.00ms, Δt=1.00*[tex]10^{-3} m[/tex], Δt[tex]=0.001s[/tex]

Speed: [tex]v=340m/s[/tex]

Distance between two speakers: d is unknown

Now to find the minimum distance between two speakers:

velocity is the rate of change of distance with time.

[tex]velocity=\frac{distance }{time}[/tex]

make d the subject of the formula.

[tex]distance =velocity *time[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]distance =(340m/s)*(0.001s)\\distance =0.34m[/tex]

so the minimum distance between two speakers that produce sounds that arrive at noticeably different times is [tex]0.34meters[/tex]
