The frequencies of two wave-sources A and B shown in the figure are equal. What type of interference will occur at the points P, Q and R? The distance AB=λ2 (assume that the waves from A and B start in the same phase).

Light from two coherent sources is reaching on a screen. If the path difference at a point on the screen for the yellow light be 3λ2, then what will be the colour of the fringe at that point? Explain with necessary argument.
