Speakers C and D emit the same pure tone of wavelength 1.6 m, are exactly in phase, and are 3.6 m apart. How many loud spots (completely constructive interference) exist along the line segment connecting the speakers?

Step 1
We know that constructive interference occurs when the path difference between the two waves is an integer multiple of the wavelength. In other words, if the difference in distance traveled by the two waves is n * λ, where n is an integer and λ is the wavelength, Show more…

Two speakers, 7.0 m apart, are in phase and emit a pure tone of wavelength 2.4 m. There are a total of Answer quiet spots (completely destructive interference) along the line segment connecting the speakers?

The two sources of sound in Fig. 12$-$16 face each other and emit sounds of equal amplitude and equal frequency (305 Hz) but 180$^\circ$ out of phase. For what minimum separation of the two speakers will there be some point at which ($a$) complete constructive interference occurs and ($b$) complete destructive interference occurs. (Assume $T =$ 20$^\circ$C.)
