Each of four pairs of light waves arrives at a certain point on a screen. The waves have the same wavelength. At the arrival point, their amplitudes and phase differences are (a) 2E_(0),6E_(0) , and pi rad, (b) 3E_(0), 5E_(0) , and pi rad, (c) 9E_(0), 7E_(0) and 3pi rad, (d) 2E_(0), 2E_(0) and 0 rad. Rank the four pairs according to the intensity of the light at the arrival point, greatest first. (Hint: Draw phasors.)
