Two loudspeakers are mounted on a rack, one h = 2.74 m above the other. Exactly 8.00 meters to the right of the midpoint, a microphone rests at point O. Point O is equally distant from each loudspeaker.
The loudspeakers are driven by the same tone generator and vibrate in phase at 390 Hz.
It is possible to create a condition of destructive interference at Point O by changing one or both of the path lengths (r1 and r2) between speaker and microphone. Suppose that this is done by raising the upper speaker while leaving the lower speaker in place. What is the smallest vertical distance (in m) that you would need to raise the upper speaker by, in order to create destructive interference at Point O? (The speed of sound waves in air is 343 m/s.)

On the side opposite this spot, two in-phase loudspeakers are located at adjacent corners, as shown in the figure. Standing at point A, you hear a loud sound because constructive interference occurs between the identical sound waves coming from the speakers. As you walk along the side of the square toward either empty corner, the loudness diminishes gradually but does not entirely disappear until you reach either empty corner, where you hear no sound at all. Thus, at each empty corner destructive interference occurs. Find the wavelength of the sound waves.
