Two point sources separated by 2.0 m are radiating in phase with 
. A detector moves in a circular path around the two sources in a plane containing them. How many maxima are detected?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
We have,
and,
So between 
and B 
and C 
and D 
and 
and A), we have 3 maxima as shown in figure.
Also, we will have maxima at 
and D
Total maxima
