Homework Statement
A pair of speakers separatd by .700m are driven by the same oscillator at a frequency of 690Hz. An observer originally positioned at one of the speakers begins to walk along a line perpindicular to the line joining the speakers. How far mus the observer walk before reaching a relative maximum in intensity
Homework Equations
v(air)=345m/s
r2-r1=n(lambda)
The Attempt at a Solution
How do i figure out the r values when only one side is given? I know i should use the pythagorean theorem here. I also know a relative maximum is constructive interference so i will use a full integer for n. r2-r2=1(lambda). I'm not sure what I'm missing here.
i have:
f=690Hz
lambda=.5m
T=.0015s
suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
