2 answers:
Answer:
The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz
Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :
To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,
So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Complete Question
In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
Answer:
The speed of the helicopter is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height at which he let go of the brief case is h = 130 m
The time taken before the the brief case hits the water is t = 6 s
Generally the initial speed of the briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as
Here s is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

Answer:
820 nm
Explanation:
We are given that
Wavelength=
For first minimum therefore
m=0
We know that for destructive interference
Substitute the values
Hence, the distance between two slits that produces the first minimum=820 nm
