Interference of Light

The word "constructive" signifies addition in interference. Constructive interference occurs when the path of the waves that start from the slit differs by 1 entire wavelength or in the intervals of the same. Hence, the waves that are presented on the screen are in phase (crest to crest/trough to trough). The waves interfering constructively forms bright fringes on the screen.

Problem 18: A car is traveling North on a straight road, towards two radio transmission towers, S1 and S2. Transmitter S1 is located very close to the road; S2 is located at some distance d to the East of S1. (Draw this!) The two transmitters are oscillating in phase at a frequency of 91.7 MHz, sending out radio wave crests and troughs in synchrony. The car radio is tuned to the 91.7 MHz radio station and receives a strong radio signal when the car is still several km away from Sı and S2. However, as the car approaches the transmitters, the radio signal gets weaker, and the radio signal disappears altogeter, due to destructive interference, when the car reaches a distance of 690 m from S1. What is the distance, d, between the two radio transmitters? Hints: Consider the pathlength difference, Al := l2 – l1, where l2 is the distance from S2 to the car and and l1 is the distance from S1 to the car. (1) Initially, when the car is very, very far away from S1, i.e., in the limit l1 → ∞, the…
