Two coherent fight sources A and B with separation `2lambda` are placed on the x-axis symme-trically about the origion. They emit light of wavelength `lambda`. Obtain the positions of maxima on a circle of large radius, lying in the x-y plane and with centre at the origion.

To solve the problem of finding the positions of maxima on a circle of large radius in the x-y plane due to two coherent light sources A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have two coherent light sources A and B separated by a distance of \(2\lambda\) along the x-axis, which means: - Source A is located at \((- \lambda, 0)\) - Source B is located at \((\lambda, 0)\) ### Step 2: Condition for Maxima ...
