1. The wavelength of sound waves from two speakers is 336.4cm long.
a) If a person were standing at the end of the wavelength, what would they hear? Explain.
b) What can be said about ∆?/? , the ratio of the path length difference from the two speakers compared to the wavelength of the speakers?
The aim of question is to check your knowledge about interference of sound waves. Where constructive and destructive interference occurs when two waves from two speakers combines. It all depends on the path difference. If path difference is integral multiple of lemda then constructive interference occurs and volume of sound we hear is maximum and vice versa.
