Homework Statement
Two identical loudspeakers are located at points A and B, 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and produce sound waves with a frequency of 784 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s . A small microphone is moved out from point B along a line perpendicular to the line connecting A and B

a)At what distances from B will there be destructive interference
b)At what distances from B will there be constructive interference
c)If the frequency is made low enough, there will be no positions along the line BC at which destructive interference occurs. How low must the frequency be for this to be the case?
Homework Equations
λ=v/f
The Attempt at a Solution
λ=v/f=344/784=0.4388 m
okay so first I labelled the distance from A to C as dA and from B-C as dB.

and to see when its destructive or constructive you would input odd or even numbers respectivley. Now I still have a wrong answer with this method and I suspect its the way I derived dB. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong. As always any help is appreciated.
