Two loudspeakers are placed side by side a distance d = 4.00 m apart. A listener observes
maximum constructive interference while standing in front of the loudspeakers, equidistant from
both of them. The distance from the listener to the point halfway between the speakers is 1 =
5.00 m.
One of the loudspeakers is then moved directly away from the other. Once the speaker is
moved a distance r = 60.0 cm from its original position, the listener, who is not moving,
observes destructive interference for the first time.
Find the speed of sound in the air if both speakers emit a tone of frequency 700 Hz.
