Sound waves, like light waves, can interfere with each other, giving maximum and minimum levels of sound. Suppose a listener standing directly between two loudspeakers hears the same tone being emitted from both. This listener observes that when one of the speakers ismoved 0.16 m farther away, the perceived intensity of thetone decreases from a maximum to a minimum.(a) Calculate the wavelength of the sound.(b) Calculate its frequency, using 343 m s-1as the speedof sound.
