Two identical sinusoidal waves are moving in the same direction along a stretched string and interfere with each other. The phase difference between them is $120^{\circ}$. The amplitudes of both the waves are the same. If the amplitude of the resultant wave due to interference is $2 \,mm$, the amplitude of each wave is:

  • A
    $1 \,mm$
  • B
    $2 \,mm$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3} \,mm$
  • D
    $2 \sqrt{3} \,mm$

Two coherent sources of sound,$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$,produce sound waves of the same wavelength,$\lambda = 1\, m$,in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see figure). $A$ listener,located at $L$,directly in front of $S_{2}$,finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\, m$ away from $S_{2}$. The listener moves away from $S_{1}$,keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S_{1}$. Then,$d$ is $......\, m$.
