Two loudspeakers ($L_1$ and $L_2$) are placed with a separation of $10 \ m$, as shown in the figure. Both speakers are fed with an audio input signal of the same frequency with constant volume. $A$ voice recorder, initially at point $A$, at equidistance to both loudspeakers, is moved by $25 \ m$ 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 . . . . . . $Hz$.
