Homework Statement


I have attached the problem...


Homework Equations



dsin([itex]\theta[/itex]) = [itex]\lambda[/itex]m

The Attempt at a Solution



(0.00003m)(sin([itex]\theta[/itex])) = (0.000000550m)(2) ------------> 2.10o
(0.00003m)(sin([itex]\theta[/itex])) = (0.000000550m)(3) ------------> 3.15o


I looked through my textbook, but the only piece that I could find about nodes/anti-nodes was the diagram that I attached. Can someone explain how I draw them/what they are?

THANKS SO MUCH!

Thanks!
But how would I show how the nodes and anti-nodes are created?
 
for wavelength λ, it's an anti-node if the path difference is … ? :smile:
