Shown below are various pipe systems (the solid lines represent thin pipes seen from the side).
A sound wave of wavelength L enters the pipe system from the left. When the sound reaches the junction, it splits. The sound waves in the two branches of the junction recombine at Q. Select those diagrams for which the sound intensity at Q will be a minimum; e.g., enter BC
A) B) C) D) E) F)
0AALSolution
Sound intensity is W / area
Soo greater the.area lesser is intensity
Area of A = 1.04 L
Area of B = 2.694 L
C = 1.57 L
D = 5.43 L
E = 3.01 L
F = .25 L
Therefore the least is D having minimum sound intensity
