Noise-cancelling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick up noise, delays it slightly, then rebroadcasts it again to your ear where it can interfere with the incoming sound wave of the noise. Suppose you are sitting 1.5 m from an annoying 120 Hz buzzing sound. What is the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise?
