(a) She turned off the oscillator. (b) She turned down the volume of the speakers. (c) She changed the phase relationship of the speakers. (d) She disconnected one speaker.

A central loudspeaker cluster provides sufficient coverage to the auditorium where it is installed except under the balcony. A secondary loudspeaker is installed under the balcony. A listener in the second to last row is 65 feet from the main cluster and 7 feet from the secondary cluster. For this listener location, what is the ideal electronic signal delay for the secondary loudspeaker? Is the amplified sound arriving within 25 ms of the direct sound?
Two identical audio speakers connected to the same amplifier produce in-phase sound waves with a single frequency that can be varied between 340 and 575 HzHz . The speed of sound is 340 m/sm/s . You find that where you are standing, you hear minimum-intensity sound
If one of the speakers is moved 39.8 cmcm toward you, the sound you hear has maximum intensity. What is the frequency of the sound?
Express your answer in hertz.
How much closer to you from the position in part B must the speaker be moved to the next position where you hear maximum intensity?
Express your answer in meters.
X-rays have a wavelength small enough to image individual atoms, but are challenging to detect because of their typical frequency. Suppose an X-ray camera uses X-rays with a wavelength of 3.10 nm. Calculate the frequency of the X-rays. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
