Answer:
the lowest possible frequency of the emitted tone is 404.79 Hz
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
S₁ ← 5.50 m → L
↑
2.20 m
↓
S₂
We know that, the condition for destructive interference is;
Δr = ( 2m + ) × λ
where m = 0, 1, 2, 3 .......
Path difference between the two sound waves from the two speakers is;
Δr = √( 5.50² + 2.20² ) - 5.50
Δr = 5.92368 - 5.50
Δr = 0.42368 m
v = f × λ
f = ( 2m + )v / Δr
m = 0, 1, 2, 3, ....
Now, for the lowest possible frequency, let m be 0
so
f = ( 0 + )v / Δr
f = (v) / Δr
we know that speed of sound in air v = 343 m/s
so we substitute
f = (343) / 0.42368
f = 171.5 / 0.42368
f = 404.79 Hz
Therefore, the lowest possible frequency of the emitted tone is 404.79 Hz
