To solve the problem of finding the distances from source A where constructive and destructive interference occurs, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the setup We have two coherent sources A and B that are 5.00 m apart, emitting waves with a wavelength of 6.00 m. We need to find points along the line between these two sources where constructive and destructive interference occurs. ### Step 2: Define the conditions for interference - **Constructive interference** occurs when the path difference (Δx) between the waves from the two sources is an integer multiple of the wavelength (λ): \[ ...
