Maxima and minima are produced when the path difference between waves is a whole number of wavelength or odd number of half wavelength.

Two coherent sources of sound, $S_1$ and $S_2,$ produce sound waves of the same wavelength $\lambda =1 \mathrm{m}$ are in phase. $S_1$ and $S_2$ are placed $1.5 \mathrm{m}$ apart (see fig). A listener, located at $\mathrm{L}$, directly in front of $S_2$, finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2 \mathrm{m}$ away from $S_2$. The listener moves away from $S_1$, keeping the distance from $S_2$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_1$. Then $d$ is :

In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength $\mathrm{\lambda ,}$ the separation of slits is $d$ and distance of screen is $D$ such that $D\gg d\gg \lambda$ . If the Fringe width is $\beta$ , the distance from point of maximum intensity to the point where intensity falls to half of the maximum intensity on either side is:

Two point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ separated by a distance $10 \mu \mathrm{m}$ emit light waves of wavelength $4 \mu \mathrm{m}$ in phase. A circular wire of radius $40 \mu \mathrm{m}$ is placed around the sources as shown in figure, then ($O$ is the centre of the circle and $O{S}_1=O{S}_2$)
