A sound technician is testing the sound acoustics in a theatre for an upcoming music concert. He sets up speakers in different locations and tests the sound levels in various seats in the theater. In one seat, the sound is twice as loud as it is in other seats in the theater. What wave phenomenon best explains why the sound is louder in one seat compared to the others?

Diffraction between speakers

Reflection off the theater walls

Constructive interference

Destructive interference

The previous answer is incorrect. A simple google will tell you that diffraction will result in a quieter sound. Constructive interference is where 2 sounds of similar wave length will add up to nearly double the amplitude.

The wave phenomenon which best explains why the sound is louder in one seat compared to the others will be "Constructive Interference".

Constructive Interference

Constructive interference happens whenever the maxima or extremes of two signals add simultaneously, producing throughout a wave whose amplitude is usually equivalent to the total of such separate amplitudes.

Whenever two loudspeakers are relatively close to one another, users can observe such interference if somehow the separation between each loudspeaker as well as the spectator would be comparable.

Thus Option C is correct.
