The transmitters emit the same 120 kHz signal as before, and the signals overlap when they reach the mobile receiver but... After traveling an unknown distance, d₁, one signal arrives at the receiver while the other bounces off a skyscraper. The signal that bounced off the skyscraper then travels an additional distance, d₂, to the receiver as shown in the figure.

d₁
d₁

Transcribed Image Text:(a) Which one or more of the following affected the phase difference between the two signals at the receiver?
O The reflection off the skyscraper.
O The path length difference, Id₂ - d₁l
O The initial distance, d₁, that both waves traveled.
O The distance, d₂, traveled by the reflected signal.
(b) If the signals started out in phase, which condition will give constructive interference?
o dz
= m O
What minimum value of d₂ gives constructive interference?
km
O
(c) If the signals were initially out of phase, which condition will give constructive interference?
