An interference pattern is observed at $P$ due to the superimposition of two rays coming from a source $S$ as shown in the figure. The value of $l$ for which maxima is obtained at $P$ is: ($R$ is a perfectly reflecting surface)

Four monochromatic and coherent sources of light,emitting waves in phase of wavelength $\lambda$,are placed at the points $x = 0, d, 2d$,and $3d$ on the $x$-axis. The intensity of the waves reaching a point $P$ far away on the $+x$ axis from each of the four sources is almost the same,and equal to $I_0$. Then,

Consider the following statements about interference of light:
$A$. The interference fringes are equally bright and equally spaced.
