In Fig. 3, sound waves
A
and
B
, both of wavelength
\lambda
, are initially in phase and traveling rightward, as indicated by the two rays. Wave
A
is reflected from four surfaces but ends up traveling in its original direction. What multiple of wavelength
\lambda
is the smallest value of distance
L
in the figure that puts
A
and
B
exactly out of phase with each other after the reflections? (10 points) Figure 3
