To solve the problem of finding the positions of maxima on a large circle in the x-y plane due to two coherent light sources A and B separated by a distance of \(2\lambda\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two coherent light sources A and B placed symmetrically about the origin on the x-axis, with a separation of \(2\lambda\). The light emitted has a wavelength of \(\lambda\). We need to find the positions of maxima on a large circle centered at the origin. ### Step 2: Define the Geometry Let the positions of the sources be: - Source A at \((- \lambda, 0)\) ...
