Nature of light

Light is transverse and electromagnetic radiation that exhibits the properties of a wave as well as a particle. For this reason, light is said to have a “dual nature.”

Consider a road that runs parallel to the line connecting a pair of radio towers that transmit the same station (assume that their transmissions are synchronized), which has an AM frequency of 1000 kilohertz. If the road is 5 kilometers from the towers and the towers are separated by 400 meters, find the angle θ to the first point of minimum signal (m=0). Hint: A frequency of 1000 kilohertz corresponds to a wavelength of 300 meters for radio waves.
