Answer:
The lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz
Explanation:
From the question, Abby is standing 5.00m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers.
First, we will determine his distance from the second speaker using the Pythagorean theorem
l₂ = √(2.00²+5.00²)
l₂ = √4+25
l₂ = √29
l₂ = 5.39 m
Hence, the path difference is
ΔL = l₂ - l₁
ΔL = 5.39 m - 5.00 m
ΔL = 0.39 m
From the formula for destructive interference
ΔL = (n+1/2)λ
where n is any integer and λ is the wavelength
n = 1 in this case, the lowest possible frequency corresponds to the largest wavelength, which corresponds to the smallest value of n.
Then,
0.39 = (1+ 1/2)λ
0.39 = (3/2)λ
0.39 = 1.5λ
∴ λ = 0.39/1.5
λ = 0.26 m
From
v = fλ
f = v/λ
f = 340 / 0.26
f = 1307.69 Hz
Hence, the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible is 1307.69 Hz.
The reason why icebergs float in the ocean has to do with temperature. Icebergs are colder than the ocean water and therefore the cold water is less dense than the warm water and this causes the Iceberg to float.
I believe I seen on google if you go to Mather
