An acoustic dipole can be modeled by two point sources (monopoles) residing close together but vibrating exactly out of phase. Suppose point source 1 is located at (0, 0, −d) and point source 2 is located at (0, 0, d), where d is very small. Further suppose that source 1 is generating the narrow-band signal f (t), leading to a spherical pressure wave given by p (r1, t) = f (t c1r1)/r1and source 2 is generating the narrow-band signal −f (t), leading to a spherical pressure wave given by p (r2, t) = −f (t c-1r2)/r2, where the two radii r1 and r2 are measured from their respective sources.

(a) Show that the measured pressure in the far field is approximately p(r, t) = zf (t c1r)/r2.

(b) Sketch isopressure lines in the x-z plane for the above field pattern
