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 alongside. 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
  • A$\lambda_1=1 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=2 \,m$
  • B$\lambda_1=4 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=3 \,m$
  • C$\lambda_1=2 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=1 \,m$
  • D$\lambda_1=0.5 \,m$ and $\lambda_2=025 \,m$
