Two sources emit waves that are coherent, in phase, have wavelengths of 1.50 m, and electric field amplitudes of 2.0 N/C. Which of the following is closest to the electric field amplitude at a location 6.0 m from one source and 8.25 m from the other? Question 2 options:   4.0 N/C   3.0 N/C   2.0 N/C   1.0 N/C   0 N/C   None of the other responses are correct.
Show that the two waves with wave functions given by E1 = 6.00 sin (100πt) and E2 = 8.00 sin (100πt 1 π/2) add to give a wave with the wave function ER sin (100πt +φ). Find the required values for ER and φ.
Suppose that the two waves in the figure have wavelength 670 nm in air. What multiple of λ gives their phase difference when they emerge if (a) n1 = 1.77 and n2 = 1.87, and L = 9.05 μm; (b) n1 = 1.89 and n2 = 1.99, and L = 9.05 μm; and (c) n1 = 1.86 and n2 = 2.06, and L = 3.49 μm
