Discuss the two cases, constructive and destructive interferences, as a result of thin-film interference. (Provide figure/s to support your statement.)
Suppose that y1(x,t) and y2(x,t) are two independent wave functions, which describe the displacements vertical (in meters) of a string, as a function of position x (in meters) and time t (in seconds):
(See image)
For what values of the phase constant ϕ1 does destructive interference occur?
Compliment:
According to an article I've read on the internet, destructive interference occurs when ϕ1-ϕ2=180°
What I did was :
ϕ1+(π/3)=π
Is it wrong?
Two loudspeakers are placed above and below each other, as in the figure below, and driven by the same source at a frequency of 4.40 ✕ 102 Hz. An observer is in front of the speakers (to the right) at point O, at the same distance from each speaker. What minimum vertical distance upward should the top speaker be moved to create destructive interference at point O? (Let h = 2.58 m and use v = 343 m/s.)
