2 In Fig. 16-24, wave 1 consists of a rectangular peak of height 4 units
and width d, and a rectangular valley of depth 2 units and width d. The
wave travels rightward along an x axis Choices 2, 3, and 4 are similar
waves, with the same heights, depths, and widths, that will travel leftward
along that axis and through wave 1. Right-going wave 1 and one of the
left-going waves will interfere as they pass through each other. With
which left-going wave will the interference give, for an instant, (a) the
deepest valley, (b) a flat line, and (c) a flat peak 2d wide?

tained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a
target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly to-
ward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target.
