Two point coherent sources are apart. A detector is moved to register maxima. How many maxima will it register?
(a)when it moves along a line parallel to the slits. It registers maxima
(b)when it moves along a line perpendicular to the line joining the slits and passing through one of the slits it registers maxima
(c)when it moves along the perpendicular bisector to the line joining the two slits then it registers maxima
(d)it will not register any maxima, whatever be the line of motion

A parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top, and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? Take the speed of sound in water to be .
