Two identical loudspeakers 10.0 m apart are driven by the same oscillator with a frequency of f = 21.5 Hz (Fig. P17.6) in an area where the speed of sound is 344 m/s.

An A-major chord consists of the notes called A, C#, and E. It can be played on a piano by simultaneously striking strings with fundamental frequencies of 440.00 Hz, 554.37 Hz, and 659.26 Hz. The rich consonance of the chord is associated with near equality of the frequencies of some of the higher harmonics of the three tones.

The other pulse is inverted, with half the width and twice the amplitude of the first pulse, moving to the left as shown in Figure P18.2. Sketch the shape of the string at the moment in time when the centers of each pulse are at the same location. FIGURE P18.2
