QUESTION:

Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves. High-frequency sound from a distant source with wavelength $9.00\ cm$ passes through a slit $12.0\ cm$ wide. A microphone is placed $8.00\ m$ directly in front of the center of the slit, corresponding to point $O$ in Fig. $36.5a$ . The microphone is then moved in a direction perpendicular to the line from the center of the slit to point $O$ . At what distances from $O$ will the intensity detected by the microphone be zero.
