Explanation 1) Concept: Using the condition for maxima, we can find the relation between m and s i n θ . From this, possible values of m can be found. Then corresponding number of values of θ will give the number of maxima that the detector detects. 2) Formula: Path difference is d s i n θ = m λ 3) Given: i) Fig. 35.57 shows two radio frequency point sources S 1 and S 2 . ii) Distance between sources, d = 2.0 m iii) The two sources are radiating in phase with wavelength, λ = 0.50 m iv) A detector is moving in a circular path around the two sources, in a plane containing them. 4) C alculations: As per the given condition of path difference, d s i n θ = m λ m = d s i n θ λ m = 2
