354787 A source of sound \({S}\) and a detector \({D}\) are placed at some distance from one another. A big cardboard is placed near the detector and perpendicular to the line \({S D}\) as shown in figure. It is gradually moved away and it is found that the intensity changes from a maximum to a minimum as the board is moved through a distance of \(20\,cm\). Find the frequency of the sound emitted is Velocity of sound in air is \({336 {~m} / {s}}\).

354788 A point source of sound is located somewhere along the \(x\)-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners at \(x=-8 {~m}\) and \(x=+2.0 {~m}\). A third listener is positioned along the positive \(y\)-axis. What is her \(y\)-coordinate (in \(m\) ) if the same wave front reaches her at the same instant as it does the first two listeners?
