Sarah puts two small speakers
meters apart on one wall of her
spacious dorm room. Unfortunately, she fails to note that her
speakers are connected out of phase. She plays a stereo
rendition of ``the harmonic frequency 340 Hz'' and notices that she
can hardly hear it with her chair in the middle a distance
meters away (told you it was a spacious dorm room).
a) What is the smallest distance
she can move her chair up along the
wall to be able to hear the sound clearly? (Show explicitly why this
is true, don't just write down a formula).
b) What else could she do to enable herself to listen with her chair in the middle (where it is)? Explain algebraically.
