Two stereo speakers are separated by a distance of 2.40 m. A person stands at a distance of 3.20 m directly in front of one of the speakers as shown in the figure. Find the frequencies in the audible range (20-20000 Hz) for which the listener will hear a minimum sound intensity. Speed of sound in air =320 ms-1.
