A riverside warehouse has two open doors as shown in Figure. Its walls are lined with sound-absorbing material. A boat on the river sounds its horn. To person A the sound is loud and clear. To person B the sound barely audible. The principal wavelength of the sound waves is `2 m`. Assuming person B is at the positon of the first minimum, determine the distance `Ab = 20 m` and the distance of A from the doors is `150 m.

The minimum wavelength of sound that is audible to a person is (speed of sound is 340 m/s)

Assertion : A person wil hear no sound if he is moving away from the source of sound with the speed of sound. Reason : Because the relative velocity of the sound waves with respect to the person is infinite.
