I feel so silly right now, because this problem is the 1st problem of my physics problem set(and easiest), and I've done all the rest of the harder problems, but I can't get this simple problem!
two in phase sources of waves are separated by a distance of 4.00m these sources produce identical waves that have a wave length of 5.00 m. on the line between them there are two places at which the same type of interference occurs. a) is it constructive or destructive interference and b) where are the places located
l2-l1= m lambda (wavelength)
l2-l1= (m+1/2) lambda
l2-l1= 4 meters
lambda = 5 meters
m= 0.80 meters
I'm so lost.
