Two in-phase loudspeakers emit identical 1000 Hz sound waves along the x-axis. What distance should one speaker be placed behind the other for the sound to have an amplitude 1.70 times that of each speaker alone?
Added by Joan C.
Step 1
We know that the frequency of the sound waves is 1000 Hz. We can find the wavelength (λ) using the speed of sound in air (v) and the frequency (f): λ = v/f. Show more…

Two in-phase loudspeakers emit identical 1000 Hz sound waves along the x-axis Part A What distance should one speaker be placed behind the other for the sound to have an amplitude 1.00 times that of each speaker alone? Express your answer with the appropriate units
Adi S.
Two loudspeakers are mounted at the same height and placed at a separation of 20.0 m. Both the speakers emit sound waves at a speed of 343 m/s. with the same frequency of 600 Hz. The speakers receive the signal in such a way that the emitted sound waves are exactly out of phase. How far away from the speaker A along the +x axis will a point of constructive interference occur?
