Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the sources at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $RS$ hears maximum sound intensity. When the observer moves parallel to the line $RS$ to a position directly in front of one of the sources,the sound intensity is a minimum. $A$ possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m/s$).
