Chapter 18, Problem 18.3OQ
In Example 18.1, we investigated an oscillator at 1.3kHz driving two identical side-by-side speakers. We found that a listener at point O hears sound with maximum intensity, whereas a listener at point P hears a minimum. What is the intensity at P? (a) less than hut dose to the intensity at O (b) half the intensity at O (c) very low but not zero (d) zero (e) indeterminate
