I am struggling with the following problem. I believe it shouldn't be hard - i must be missing something ?
A tuning fork generates sound waves with a frequency of 246 Hz. The waves travel in opposite directions along a hallway, are reflected by end walls, and return. The hallway is 47.0 m long, and the tuning fork is located 14.0 m from one end. What is the phase difference between the reflected waves when they meet at the tuning fork? The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.
If you could help, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!
