Follow these steps to solve this problem: two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting 1700-hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. consider a point 4.0 m in front of speaker 1, which lies along a line from speaker 1, that is perpendicular to a line between the two speakers. is this a point of maximum constructive interference, a point of perfect destructive interference, or something in between? compute the path-length difference ? what is the wavelength of the sound waves emitted by the speakers?

Explanation:

Wave length of sound from each of the  speakers = 340 / 1700 = .2 m = 20 cm

Distance between first speaker and the given point = 4 m.

Distance between second speaker and the given sound

= √ 4² + 2² = √16 +4 = √20 = 4.472 m

Path difference = 4.472 - 4 = .4722 m.

Path difference / wave length = 0.4772 / 0.2 = 2.386

This is a fractional integer which is neither an odd nor an  even multiple of half wavelength. Hence this point of neither a perfect constructive nor a perfect destructive interference.

B. the population of the new native species will be lower and the population of the new species will be higher.
