You are standing in front of two side-by-side loudspeakers playing sounds of the same
frequency. Initially, there is almost no sound at all. Then one of the speakers is moved slowly
away from you. The sound intensity increases as the separation increases, reaching a maximum
when the speakers are 0.75 m apart. As the speaker continues to move, the sound starts to
decrease.
a. Draw a picture of the situation when the speakers are side-by-side. Show the
interference pattern.
b. Draw a picture of the situation when the speakers are 0.75 m apart. Show the
interference pattern.
c. What is the distance between the speakers when the sound intensity is again a
minimum?
