Two identical loudspeakers, placed close to each other inside a room, are supplied with the same sinusoidal voltage. One can imagine a pattern around the loudspeakers with areas of increased and decreased sound intensity alternately located. Which of the following actions will NOT change the locations of these areas?

A source of sound is at one end of a hollow tube. An observer at another end hears two distinct notes after a time interval of $1$ $ \mathrm{s}$. If velocity of sound in air is $340$ $ \mathrm{m}$ $ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and in metal is $3740$ $ \mathrm{m}$ $ \mathrm{s}^{-1}$, then the length of pipe is,

A machine gun is mounted on an armoured car moving with a speed of 20 m s-1. The gun can point against the direction of motion of the car. The muzzle speed of the bullet is equal to the speed of sound in the air i.e., 340 m s-1. The time difference between bullets actually reaching and the sound of firing reaching at a target 500 m away from a car at the instant of firing is
