Two coherent sources of sound, S1{S}_{1}S1​ and S2,{S}_{2},S2​, produce sound waves of the same wavelength λ=1m\lambda =1mλ=1m are in phase. S1{S}_{1}S1​ and S2{S}_{2}S2​ are placed 1.5m1.5m1.5m apart (see fig). A listener, located at LLL, directly in front of S2{S}_{2}S2​, finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is 2m2m2m away from S2{S}_{2}S2​. The listener moves away from S1{S}_{1}S1​, keeping the distance from S2{S}_{2}S2​ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance ddd from S1{S}_{1}S1​. Then ddd is :
