- For testing purposes, a musical instrument manufacturing company creates a device so that when you blow into one end with your instrument, sound comes out the other end in opposite directions. A sound technician uses a whistle and generates sound waves with a frequency of 242 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions in a band room, are reflected by end walls, and return. The band room is 44.0 m long and the whistle is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference (in degrees) between the reflected waves when they meet at the source of the sound?
