Chapter , Problem 24(choose chapter or problem)
In Fig. 35-39, two isotropic point sources S1 and S2 emit light in phase at wavelength l and at the same amplitude. The sources are separated by distance 2d ! 6.00l. They lie on an axis that is parallel to an x axis, which runs along a viewing screen at distance D ! 20.0l. The origin lies on the perpendicular bisector between the sources. The figure shows two rays reaching point P on the screen, at position xP. (a) At what value of xP do the rays have the minimum possible phase difference? (b) What multiple of l gives that minimum phase difference? (c) At what value of xP do the rays have the maximum possible phase difference? What multiple of l gives (d) that maximum phase difference and (e) the phase difference when xP ! 6.00l? (f) When xP ! 6.00l, is the resulting intensity at point P maximum, minimum, intermediate but closer to maximum, or intermediate but closer to minimum?
