Question

1. Two tuning forks are sounded simultaneously, and you can hear a tone that rises and falls in intensity six times per second. One tuning fork vibrates at 420 Hz while the other vibrates at unknown frequency. Determine the frequency of the unknown tuning fork. 2. Two loudspeakers are completely out of phase causing a destructive interference at the overlapping point. You hear no sound at this point meanwhile one of the speakers is adjusted one-wavelength far relative to the second speaker. Will you hear a sound at the overlapping point? Draw the resultant wave from the interference.
