Question

Two identical point sources are generating waves with the same frequency and amplitude.  The two sources are in phase with each other, so the two sources generate wave crests at the same instant.  The wavelength of the waves is equal to the distance between the two sources.  See section 9.11 in the notes.

Rank the maximum amplitude taking into consideration the reduction in intensity as the points get further from the source. For example, the waves from the point sources will experience complete constructive interference at both D and C but the amplitude will be greater at D because D is closer to the sources than C and the intensity will therefore be greater.
