Figure P24.69 shows d- radio-wave transmitter and a receiver, both h = 50.0 m above the ground and d = 6.00 X 102 m apart. The receiver can receive signals directly from the transmit- ter and indirectly from signals that bounce off the ground. If the ground is level between the transmitter and receiver and a /2 phase shift occurs upon reflection, determine the longest wave- lengths that interfere (a) constructively and (b) destructively.

Waves from a radio station have a wavelength of 250 m. They travel by two paths to a home receiver 20.0 km from the transmitter. One path is a direct path, and the second is by reflection from a mountain directly behind the home receiver. What is the minimum distance from the mountain to the receiver that produces destructive interference at the receiver? (Assume that no phase change occurs on reflection from the mountain.)
An interference filter has a dielectric layer (refractive index 1.34) with a thickness of 0.805 μm. If the determination is to be based on the first-order interference, calculate the wavelength (nm) can be transmitted?
Two antennas located at points A and B are broadcasting radio waves of frequency 104.0 MHz. The signals start in phase with each other. The two antennas are separated by a distance d = 8.7 m. An observer is located at point P on the x axis, a distance x = 110.0 m from antenna A. The points A, P, and B form a right triangle. Now observer P walks along the x axis toward antenna A. What is P's distance from A when they first observe fully constructive interference between the two waves?
