Two loudspeakers A and B, 1.0 m apart, produce sound waves of the same wavelength and in the same phase. A sensitive sound detector, moving along P Q parallel to line AB ,2.4 m away, detects maximum sound at P (on the perpendicular bisector of AB) and another maximum sound when it first reaches Q directly opposite to B as shown . The wvelength of sound emitted by the speakers is

Detailed Solution
We know that the path difference between two consecutive maxima =λ,i.e. AQ−BQ=λ From figure AQ= (BQ)2+(AB)2 =(2⋅4)2+(1)2=2⋅6m 2⋅6−2⋅4=λ or λ=0⋅2m
