`S`: source, `O`: Observer
Path difference `Delta x = SAO - SO`
`= 2 SA - SO`
`= sqrt((60)^(2) + (25)^(2)) - 120`
`= 2 xx 65 - 120 = 10 m`
For constructive interference
`Delta x = n lambda rArr 10 = n lambda`
`lambda = (10)/(n) m, n = 1,2,3....`
`lambda = 10 m, (10)/(2) m, (10)/(3) m,...`

In a large room, a person receives direct sound waves froma source 120 metres away from him. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him, being reflected from the 25 metre high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constuctively for wavelength of

In a hall, a person receives direct sound waves from a source 120 m away. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the 25 m high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constructively for wavelengths (in metres)

In a large room , a person receives direct sound waves from a source 120 m away . He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the 5 - m high ceiling at a point halfway between them . For which wavelengths will these two sound waves interfere constructively ?

What is the relation between path diff. and wavelength for constructive interference of two waves ?

A thin glass slab G1 is held over a large glass slab G2, creating an air gap of uniform thickness t = 0.5 mum between them. Electromagnetic wave having wavelengths ranging from 0.4 mum "to" 1.15 mum is incident normally on the slab G1. When interference between waves reflected from boundaries of air gap (the two reflected waves are shown in fig as R1 and R2) was studied, it was found that only two wavelengths interfered constructively. One of these two wavelengths is lambda_(1) = 0.04 mum . Find the other wavelength (lambda_(2)) that interferes constructively.

Two mirror M_(1) and M_(2) make an angle phi with line AB . A point source S is kept at a distance r from the point of intersection of mirror. A small hemispherical annular mask is kept close to S so that no ray emanting from S directly reaches the screen kept at a distance b from the source. Interference pattern of rays reflected from M_(1) and M_(2) is oberved on the screen. Find the fringe width of this interference pattern lambda= wavelength of light being emitted by source.

The condition for constructive interference at a point is that…………..between two waves reaching the point should be………….or……………of full wavelength.

A person standing at a distance of 6 m from a source of sound receives sound wave in two ways, one directly from the source and other after reflection from a rigid boundary as shown in figure. The maximum wavelength for which, the person will receive maximum sound intensity, is
