Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Question

Two identical loudspeakers are placed on a wall 3.00 m apart. A listener

speakers when they reach the observer? (Your answer should be
between 0 and 27.)
rad
(b) What is the frequency closest to 300 Hz to which the oscillator may
be adjusted such that the observer hears minimal sound?
