Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, and have
wavelengths of 26.0 m. Do the waves interfere constructively or
destructively at an observation point 78.0 m from one source and
156 m from the other source?
At a location that is 3.00 m from wave source A and 4.20 m from wave source B, constructive interference occurs. Source A and source B are coherent and in phase. What is the maximum wavelength of the waves?
Waves from a radio station have a wavelength of 3.00 3 102 m. They travel by two paths to a home receiver 20.0 km from the transmitter. One path is a direct path, and the second is by reflection from a mountain directly behind the home receiver. What is the minimum distance from the mountain to the receiver that produces destructive interference at the receiver? (Assume that no phase change occurs on reflection from the mountain.)
