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?

Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.
