.Being two pure wave loudspeakers, which are on opposite walls of a 10m long room, in a form of length f = 170 Hz in a coherent way. If we were exactly in the middle of the room, where wave interference is constructive, what is the shortest distance we must move towards one of the speakers for the waves to cancel out completely? Suppose the speed of sound is not 340 m/s.
