Q. No.Two loudspeakers (\(L_1 \) and \(L_2\)) are placed with a separation of \(10~\text{m}, \) as shown in figure. Both speakers are fed with an audio input signal of same frequency with constant volume. A voice recorder, initially at point \(A, \) at equidistance to both loud speakers, is moved by \(25~\text{m}, \) along the line AB while monitoring the audio signal. The measured signal was found to undergo \(10\) cycles of minima and maxima during the movement. The frequency of the input signal is: (in Hz)
