Question:
In noisy factory environments, it's possible to use a loudspeaker to cancel persistent low-frequency machine noise at the position of one worker. The details of practical systems are complex, but we can present a simple example that gives you the idea. Suppose a machine \(5.0 \mathrm{~m}\) away from a worker emits a persistent \(80 \mathrm{~Hz}\) hum. To cancel the sound at the worker's location with a speaker that exactly duplicates the machine's hum, how far from the worker should the speaker be placed? Assume a sound speed of \(340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\).
