Two loudspeakers are placed facing each other and driven by the same source at 680 Hz.A listener is positioned between the two speakers on the line separating them,thus creating a constructive interference at the listener's ear.What minimum distance would one of the speakers be moved back away from the listener to produce destructive interference at the listener's ear? (The speed of sound = 340 m/s. )

A source of sound has an intensity I​1 and when its sound level is measured at a fixed distance the value found is 70 dB.The source then has its intensity increased to I​2 and when its sound level is measured at the same distance the value found is 96 dB.What is the ratio ​I​2/​I​1?

Two loudspeakers are placed facing each other and driven by the same source at 680 Hz.A listener is positioned between the two speakers on the line separating them,thus creating a constructive interference at the listener's ear.If one of the speakers is gradually pushed toward the listener,how far must it be moved to repeat the condition of constructive interference at the listener's ear? (The speed of sound = 340 m/s. )
