Problem

Two identical loudspeakers emit sound waves of amplitude 2 mm2\,\text{mm} and the same frequency in phase. At a listener’s position the path difference between the waves is 0.75 λ0.75\,\lambda. Find the ratio of the resultant sound intensity at that point to the intensity produced by a single loudspeaker.
