 13.3 Standing Sound Waves

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.)
