You are standing 2.5 m directly in front of one of the two
loudspeakers shown in the figure. They are 3.0 m apart
and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase. (Figure 1)
You may assume that the room is 20° C in this example
such that the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
What is the largest distance from the top speaker at which you would hear a minimum sound
intensity?
dmax = 17.9 m

In the previous part, you figured out that the difference in path length between the two speakers must
be a multiple of a half wavelength to get destructive interference. A path length difference of exactly
half of a wavelength gave you the answer above. What distance will result if the path difference is 1.5
λ?
