An oscillator of frequency 680 Hz drives two speakers . The speakers are fixed on a vertical pole at a distance 3 m from each other as shown in Fig. 7.103. 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 speed of sound is v = 340 m//s , answer the following questions. As the person walks toward the pole , the total number of times that the person hears a minimum in sound intensity will be
