Figure 35.3 shows the wave pattern produced by two

Chapter 35, Problem 35.8

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure 35.3 shows the wave pattern produced by two identical, coherent sources emitting waves with wavelength and separated by a distance (a) Explain why the positive above constitutes an antinodal curve with and why the negative below constitutes an antinodal curve with (b) Draw the wave pattern produced when the separation between the sources is reduced to In your drawing, sketch all antinodal curvesthat is, the curves on which Label each curve by its value of (c) In general, what determines the maximum (most positive) and minimum (most negative) values of the integer that labels the antinodal lines? (d) Suppose the separation between the sources is increased to How many antinodal curves will there be? To what values of do they correspond? Explain your reasoning. (You should not have to make a drawing to answer these questions.)
