Sound power radiation of dipole and bipole sources

[Jaryd Miles]

Homework Statement

For a fixed given electrical power to two monopole sources, producing the same frequency. Which mode, either in-phase or out of phase, will radiate the most sound power into the far-field?

Homework Equations

Is the radiated sound power dependent of the given electrical power? Or is the radiated sound power dependent on the different radiation patterns of the sources (i.e. figure of 8 for a dipole)?

The Attempt at a Solution

sound power ?

dipoles and monopoles are for RF transmission
please clarify

Apologies. I should have been more specific. Assume the sources are two small loudspeakers radiating low frequencies, ie omnidirectional radiation.
