Two source of sound, S_(1) and S_(2) , emitting waves of equal wavelength 2 cm , are placed with a separation of 3 cm between them.

Assertion: Distance between two coherent sources S_1 and S_2 is 4lambda . A large circle is drawn around these sources with centre of circle lying at centre of S_1 and S_2 . There are total 16 maxima on this circle. Reason: Total number of minimas on this circle are less, compared to total number of maximas.
