Clicker question 4<br />

Two loud speakers emit <strong><strong>wave</strong>s</strong> with λ = <strong>2.</strong>0 m. Speaker 2 is<br />

<strong>1.</strong>0 m to the right <strong>of</strong> speaker <strong>1.</strong> What, if anything, must be<br />

done to speaker 1 to cause constructive interference between<br />

the two <strong><strong>wave</strong>s</strong>?<br />

a) move it <strong>1.</strong>0 m to the right<br />

b) move it 0.5 m to the right<br />

c) move it 0.5 m to the left<br />

d) move it <strong>1.</strong>0 m to the left<br />

Remember, you must consider<br />

both the shift and the phase<br />

e) nothing; there is already<br />

perfect constructive interference<br />

between the two <strong><strong>wave</strong>s</strong><br />
