Two speakers that are 15.0 m apart produce in-phase sound waves of frequency 250.0 Hz in a room where the speed of sound is 340.0 m/s. A woman starts out at the midpoint between the two speakers. The room’s walls and ceiling are covered with absorbers to eliminate reflections, and she listens with only one ear for best precision.

(a) What does she hear: constructive or destructive interference? Why?

(b) She now walks slowly toward one of the speakers. How far from the center must she walk before she first hears the sound reach a minimum intensity?

(c) How far from the center must she walk before she first hears the sound maximally enhanced?
