Answer:
Frequency [tex]f_{min,1}=155.90\ Hz[/tex]
Explanation:
Given data:
The distance between the speakers, d = 2.59 m
The distance between the listeners, ΔL = 22.7 - 21.6 = 1.1 m
Now, For a destructive interference, we know that
[tex]\frac{\Delta L}{\lambda}=0.5,1.5,2.5,.........[/tex]
where, λ = wavelength
thus,
frequency [tex]f_{min,n}=\frac{(n-0.5)v}{\Delta L}[/tex]
where,
v = speed of sound = 343 m/s
for n = 1
we get
frequency [tex]f_{min,1}=\frac{(1-0.5)\times 343}{1.1}[/tex]
or
Frequency [tex]f_{min,1}=155.90\ Hz[/tex]
