Two coherent waves, coming from sources at different loca- tions, move along the x axis. Their wave functions are E, = 860 sin 650 924mt + 6. and E, = 860 sin 924mt + 650 where E, and E, are in volts per meter, x, and x, are in nano- meters, and t is in picoseconds. When the two waves are superposed, determine the relationship between x, and x, that produces constructive interference.
