Two identical loudspeakers are located at (x1, y1) = (0, 0) and (x2, y2) = (2.5 m,−0.5 m). The loudspeakers are driven by separate amplifiers, so that the loudspeakers are out of phase with each other, and produce sound waves with frequency of 650 Hz. The ambient temperature of air is 37 0C. A small microphone is moved along the y-axis.

1. At what distances along the y-axis will there be constructive interference?

2. At what distances along the y-axis will there be destructive interference?

3. If, however, the microphone starts at the origin and is moving out to infinity at a rate of 10 m/s, what is the apparent frequency of the loudspeakers? How does this change the results from (a) and (b)? Explain.

Closest and Farthest points. Distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can becalculated as d = sqt( (x1 − x2) ^2 + (y1 − y2)^ 2). You are given the coordinates of a sourcepoint and three destination points. Write a Python program stored in a file q8.py thattakes these information as input and determines the closest and farthest destinationpoints from the source point.ex:Enter source coordinates : 0 0Enter point A coordinates : 1 4Enter point B coordinates :...
