The starting and ending points of the motion are the same.. . . . .
Answer:
242.85 Hz
Explanation:
For maximum intensity of sound, the path difference,ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 where n = 0,1,2...
Since Abby is standing perpendicular to one speaker, the path length for the sound from the other speaker to him is L₁ = √(2.00² + 5.50²) = √(4.00 + 30.25) = √34.25 = 5.85 m.
The path difference to him is thus ΔL = 5.85 m - 5.50 m = 0.35 m.
Since ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 and for lowest frequency n = 0,
ΔL = (n + 1/2)λ/2 = (0 + 1/2)λ/2 = λ/4
ΔL = λ = v/f and f = v/4ΔL where f = frequency of wave and v = velocity of sound wave = 340 m/s.
f = 340/(4 × 0.35) = 242.85 Hz
