- 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?arrow_forwardIn an experiment to demonstrate interference, you connect two antennas to a single radio receiver. When the two antennas are adjacent to each other, the received signal is strong. You leave one antenna in place and move the other one directly away from the radio transmission tower. How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 103.4 MHz?arrow_forwardTwo in-phase sources emit electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 2.40 cm.

- Short-wave radio antennas A and B are connected to the same transmitter and emit coherent waves in phase and with the same frequency f. You must determine the value of f and the placement of the antennas that produce a maximum intensity through constructive interference at a receiving antenna that is located at point P, which is at the corner of your garage. First you place antenna A at a point 240.0 m due east of P. Next you place antenna B on the line that connects A and P, a distance x due east of P, where x < 240.0 m. Then you measure that a maximum in the total intensity from the two antennas occurs when x = 210.0 m, 216.0 m, and 222.0 m. You don’t investigate smaller or larger values of x. (Treat the antennas as point sources.) (a) What is the frequency f of the waves that are emitted by the antennas? (b) What is the greatest value of x, with x < 240.0 m, for which the interference at P is destructive?arrow_forwardTwo identical vertical radio antennas are 0.810 km apart.

Both broadcast identical 750 MHz waves. If you walk around the antennas in a circle of radius 10.0 m, how many maxima will you detect?arrow_forward
- Radio waves of wavelength 102 m from a galaxy reach a radio telescope by two separate paths as shown in the figure below. One is a direct path to the receiver, which is situated on the edge of a tall cliff by the ocean, and the second is by reflection off the water. As the galaxy rises in the east over the water, the first minimum of destructive interference occurs when the galaxy is e = 28.5° above the horizon.
