Two radio antennas separated by d = 275 m simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength. A car travels due north along a straight line at position x = 548 m from the center point between the antennas, and its radio receives the signals. If the car is at the position of the 3rd maximum after that at point O when it has traveled a distance y = 403 m northward, what is the wavelength of the signals? Note: Do not use the small-angle approximation in this problem.

Sources A and B emit long-range radio waves of wavelength 380 m, with the phase of the emission from A ahead of that from source B by 90°. The distance rA from A to a detector is greater than the corresponding distance rB from B by 140 m. What is the magnitude of the phase difference at the detector?
Consider a road that runs parallel to the line connecting a pair of radio towers that transmit the same station (assume that their transmissions are synchronized), which has an AM frequency of 1000 kilohertz. If the road is 5 kilometers from the towers and the towers are separated by 400 meters, find the angle θ to the first point of minimum signal (m=0). Hint: A frequency of 1000 kilohertz corresponds to a wavelength of 300 meters for radio waves.

Ordinary radio signals are greatly attenuated at such depths, making communication with the submarines difficult.

A very brief (100 ps) laser pulse, with a wavelengthof 532 nm, is fired at the moon, where it reflects off an array of 100 4.0-cm-diameter mirrors placed there by Apollo 14 astronauts in 1971. The reflected laser light returns to earth, where it is collected by a telescope and detected. The average earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. The laser beam spreads out on its way to the moon because of diffraction, reaching the mirrors with an intensity of 300 W/m2. The reflected beam spreads out even more on its way back because of diffraction due to the circular aperture of the mirrors.a.
