Chapter 18, Problem 12PQ

Two speakers, facing each other and separated by a distance d, each emit a pure tone of the same amplitude A with frequency f. The speed of each of the sound waves is vs. A listener stands between the speakers, a distance x from one of the speakers.

  1. a. What frequencies would cause a dead spot (complete destructive interference) at the listener’s position?
  2. b. If the speakers are separated by 5.00 m with the listener 2.00 m from one of the speakers, what is the lowest frequency for which there is a dead spot? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
