Question

For the figures shown below, the two sources are 
6cm apart, and they are in phase. Two paths are 
drawn from the sources to a point. (The picture is to 
scale, even if the sources are not 6cm apart on the 
paper.) 
(a) If the wavelength of the two sources is 2cm, for 
each picture, figure out whether the point marks a 
position of constructive or destructive interference. 
(b) Repeat if the wavelength is 1cm.
