Two synchronized microwave sources, A and B, are emitting waves of wavelength 4.0 cm. Source A is located on the x-axis at x = 0, source B can be moved along the x-axis, and a microwave receiver is fixed on the x-axis at x = 91 cm.

Question

Two synchronized microwave sources, A and B, are emitting waves of wavelength 4.0 cm. Source A is located on the x-axis at x = 0, source B can be moved along the x-axis, and a microwave receiver is fixed on the x-axis at x = 91 cm.

For each of the following positions of source, B determines whether the waves from the sources will reach the receiver in phase (constructive interference), out of phase (destructive interference), or with a phase difference of π/2 rad.

Part (a).  x = -8 cm. 

Part (b).  x = -6 cm. 

Part (c). x = -5 cm.
