Stretched string

A stretched string is a wire which is made up of any metal that must have a larger length compared to its thickness. The ends of the wire are fixed, and when they oscillate or are plucked, it produces two reflected transverse waves of the same frequency and same amplitude. The waves or pulses are traveling in alternate directions and superimpose with one another. This waveform is named standing or stationary waves.

Question

The figure shows two point sources S₁ and S₂ that emit sound of wavelength λ = 2.2 m. The emissions are isotropic and in phase, and
the separation between the sources is d = 17.0 m. At any point P on the x axis, the wave from S₁ and the wave from S₂ interfere. Start
with P very far away (x = infin). As you then move P in along the x axis toward the origin, (a) does the phase difference between the
waves increase or decrease? At what distance x do the waves have a path length difference of (b) 0.501, (c) 1.00λ, and (d) 1.50λ?
