Explanation:
Hello!
Let's solve this!
In this link we will find the image of the problem.

Regarding that image, we will first calculate the distance from my position to S1 and then to S2. Then the difference between these results.
We will use pitagoras.
S1 =
S1 = 24.17
S2 =
S2 = 22.56
The difference will be:
24.17-22.56 = 1.61 m
Constructive interference:
Δr=n*λ
λ=1.61 m (for n = 1)
Then we will calculate the frequency:
f = v / λ
f = (343m / s) /1.61m
f = 213.04 Hz
So the correct answer is option 213.04 Hz

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,
The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be
Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz
