Two identical loudspeakers 2.0 m apart are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m directlyin front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, perfect destructive interference, or something in between?
Two speakers are against a wall emitting a sound at 767 Hz, 14 m apart, and facing each other. You are standing against the wall in between the speakers. Use 344ms for the speed of sound in air.
A) What is the closest distance that you can be from the speaker on the left at which you exprerience total destructive interference, and the sound from the speakers cancel out?
B) What is the closest distance that you can be from the speaker on the left at which you experrience total constructive interference, and the sound intensity is doubled?
Two small speakers A and B are driven in step at 745 Hz by the same audio oscillator. These speakers both start out 4.50 m from the listener, but speaker A is slowly moved away.
At what distance d will the sound from the speakers first produce destructive interference at the location of the listener?

A microphone can be moved along a line parallel to the line joining the speakers and 9.6 m from it. An intensity maximum is measured a point Po where the microphone is equidistant from the two speakers. As we move the microphone away from Po to one side, we find intensity minima and maxima alternately. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s, and you can assume that the slits are close enough together that the equations that describe the interference pattern of light passing through two slits can be applied here.
