Consider two identical interfering waves with wavelength A = 0.2 m travelling in the positive x-direction. The two waves start at the same time but at different positions, x1 and x2 from an observer (x1 > x2). What should the path difference, Ax = x1 - x2, between the starting positions be in order for the two waves to differ in phase by T/6 rad?
