Chapter 28, Problem 11PCE
Moe, Larry, and Curly stand in a line with a spacing of 1.00 m. Larry is 3.00 m in front of a pair of stereo speakers 0.800 m apart, as shown in Figure 28-43. The speakers produce a single-frequency tone, vibrating in phase with each other. What are the two lowest frequencies that allow Larry to hear a loud tone while Moe and Curly hear very little?
