three.

screen
At point P on the screen directly in front of the three sources, the waves from all three sources arrive in
phase with each other and the phasor diagram looks like:
A₁
A₂
A3
Apet
The difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources is 0°. Also, the difference in phase
between Anct and A₁ is 0°. (The net amplitude in this case is Anci-3A where 'A' is the amplitude of each
of the 3 individual phasors.)
a) Sketch the phasor diagram for the waves arriving at the screen from the three sources at a point on
the screen where the difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources is 45°. Show on
your figure an arrow that represents Anet and the angle of Anet from the first phasor. Write the
numerical value of 0 on the figure. (You don't need to find Anct in terms of 'A').
b) Repeat step a) for a difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources of 90°.
c) Repeat step a) for a difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources of 120°.
d) Repeat step a) for a difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources of 180°.
e) Repeat step a) for a difference in phase between phasors from adjacent sources of 240°.
