Chapter 17, Problem 105P

In Fig. 17-35. S₁ and S₂ are two isotropic point sources of sound. They emit waves in phase at wavelength 0.50 m; they are separated by D = 1.60 m. If we move a sound detector along a large circle centered at the midpoint between the sources, at how many points do waves arrive at the detector (a) exactly in phase and (b) exactly out of phase?
