Two speakers are driven by the same oscillator whose frequency is 200 Hz. They are located on a vertical pole a distance of 4.00 m from each other. A man walks straight toward the lower speaker in a direction perpendicular to the pole as shown in Figure P18.9.(a) How many times will he hear a minimum in sound intensity, and(b) how far is he from the pole at these moments? Take the speed of sound to be 330 m/s and ignore any sound reflections coming off the ground.

Two speakers are driven by the same oscillator whose frequency is 200 Hz. They are located on a vertical pole a distance of 4.00 m from each other. A man walks straight toward the lower speaker in a direction perpendicular to the pole as shown in Figure P18.9.

(a) How many times will he hear a minimum in sound intensity, and

(b) how far is he from the pole at these moments? Take the speed of sound to be 330 m/s and ignore any sound reflections coming off the ground.
