A naval engineer is testing an nonreflective coating for submarines that would help them avoid detection by producing destructive interference for sonar waves that have a frequency of 512 Hz and travel at 1280 m/s. If there is a phase change for waves reflected from both the top and bottom surfaces of the coating, what is the minimum thickness of the coating? For sonar waves let nwater=1.00 and ncoating=13.5.

Two stones are dropped simultaneously into a pond 1.65 m apart and 19.1 m away from the straight edge of the pond. They produce waves of wavelength 0.28 m. The two waves meet and interfere along the pond’s edge. At the symmetric middle point P0 the interference is constructive. The next three constructive interference sites are denoted P1, P2, and P3. Refer to figure. This is not a small-angle situation, although you may still assume that the stones are dropped close together relative to the distance of the edge of the pond. a. What is the distance, in meters, between P1 and P0? b. What is the distance, in meters, between P2 and P0? c. What is the distance, in meters, between P3 and P0?
