An oscillator of frequency 680 Hz drives two speakers. The speaker is fixed on a vertical pole at a distance of 3 m from each other as shown in the figure. A person whose height is almost the same as that of the lower speaker walks towards the lower speaker in a direction perpendicular to the pole. Assuming that there is no reflection of sound from the ground and the speed of sound is v = 340 m/s,
At some instant, when the person is at a distance 4 m from the pole, the wave function (at the person's location) that describe the waves coming from the lower speaker is $$y = A cos (kx - \omega t)$$, where A is the amplitude, $$\omega = 2\pi v$$ with v = 680 Hz (given) and k = $$2 \pi\lambda$$
Wave function ( at the person's location) that describes waves coming from the upper speaker can be expressed as:
