Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 8.00 m. A person is standing 12.0 m away from the wall, equidistant from the loudspeakers

When the person moves 3.00 m parallel to the wall, she experiences destructive interference for the second time. What is the frequency of the sound? The speed of sound in the room is 343 m/s. CAREFUL! The distance to the wall is NOT much greater than the distance between the speakers.
A) 278 Hz
B) 422 Hz
C) 452 Hz
D) 562 Hz
E) 694 Hz

An uncharged 30.0-µF capacitor is connected in series with a 25.0-? resistor, a DC battery, and an open switch. The battery has an internal resistance of 10.0 ? and the open-circuit voltage across its terminals is 50.0 V

The leads have no appreciable resistance. At time t = 0, the switch is suddenly closed. (a) What is the maximum current through the 25.0-? resistor and when does it occur (immediately after closing the switch or after the switch has been closed for a long time)? (b) What is the maximum charge that the capacitor receives? (c) When the current in the circuit is 0.850 A, how much charge is on the plates of the capacitor?
