Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Question

Answer number 40 and use it to answer the multiple choice question attached.

Consider your work on Problem 12. 40. The waves interfere constructively if the sound is loud.
What does this mean about the waves at that point?
They must be completely out of phase
They must be partially out of phase
They must be in phase

40. Figure P12.40 shows an experiment
in which sound waves generated by a
singer and having a single frequency
are emitted by two speakers. These
sound waves interfere at a listener
located at point P. If the interference
at P is constructive, what is a pos-
S sible value of the frequency?
