emitted by four different sources $S_1, S_2, S_3$ and $S_4$ respectively,interference phenomena would be observed in space under appropriate conditions when:

Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the sources at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $RS$ hears maximum sound intensity. When the observer moves parallel to the line $RS$ to a position directly in front of one of the sources,the sound intensity is a minimum. $A$ possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m/s$).

Give noticeable points about the amplitude of resultant waves of two harmonic progressive waves on a stretched string.

Two sources of sound $A$ and $B$ produce waves of $350 Hz$,and they vibrate in the same phase. $A$ particle $P$ is vibrating under the influence of these two waves. If the amplitudes at point $P$ produced by the two waves are $0.3 mm$ and $0.4 mm$,what will be the resultant amplitude of the point $P$ when $AP - BP = 25 cm$ and the velocity of sound is $350 m/s$?
