Problem

Two whistles emit steady notes of frequencies 380 Hz380\,\text{Hz} and 385 Hz385\,\text{Hz}. The displacement of air at the listener’s position is a maximum at t=0 st=0\,\text{s}. At what earliest later time will the displacement again be a maximum? (a) 2.6×10−3 s2.6\times10^{-3}\,\text{s} (b) 0.20 s0.20\,\text{s} (c) 0.10 s0.10\,\text{s} (d) 0.40 s0.40\,\text{s}
