Two wires made of the same material, one thick and the other thin, are connected to form a composite wire. The composite wire is subjected to some tension. A wave travelling along Two identical loudspeakers, placed close to each other inside a room, are supplied with the same sinusoidal voltage. One can imagine a pattern around the loudspeakers with areas ofThe frequency of the sound produced by a siren increases from 400 Hz to 1200 Hz while its amplitude remains the same. Therefore, the ratio of the intensity of the 1200 Hz wave to tTwo factories are sounding their sirens at 400 Hz each.
