Two point sources are placed on a straight line separated by a distance `d = 3 lambda`. Both the sources are placed at a distance L from a wall which is perpendicular to the straight line. Both the sources are sending waves of equal intensity.
Find:
a. Locus of the points on the wall having equal intensity.
b. Maximum and minimun path difference observed on the wall.
