An interference is observed due to two coherent sources `S_1` placed at origin and `S_2` placed at `(0, 3lambda, 0)`. Here, lambda is the wavelength of the sources. A detector D is moved along the positive x-axis. Find x-coordinates on the x-axis (excluding `x = 0 and x= oo`) where maximum intensity is observed.

To find the x-coordinates on the x-axis where maximum intensity is observed due to the interference of light from two coherent sources \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup The sources are located at: - \( S_1 \) at the origin \( (0, 0) \) - \( S_2 \) at \( (0, 3\lambda, 0) \) The detector \( D \) is moved along the positive x-axis. ...
