Two small identical speakers are connected in phase to the same source. The speakers are $3 \,m$ apart and at ear level. An observer stands at $P, 4 \,m$ in front of one speaker as shown. The sound she hears is least intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_1$ and most intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_2$. Then,the possible values of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are

Four harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities $I_0$ have phase angles $0, \pi / 3, 2 \pi / 3$ and $\pi$. When they are superposed,the intensity of the resulting wave is $nI_0$. The value of $n$ is
