A narrow tube is bent in the form of circle of radius R as shown. Two small holes S and D are made in the tube at the positions right angles to each other. A source placed at S generates a wave of intensity I 0 which is equally divided into two parts. One part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the part waves meet at point D where a detector is placed.
