Consider two sinusoidal waves (1 and 2) of identical wavelength ?, period T, and maximum amplitude A. A snapshot of one of these waves taken at a certain time is displayed in the figure below. (Figure 1) Let y1(x,t) and y2(x,t) represent the displacement of each wave at position x at time t. If these waves were to be in the same location (x) at the same time, they...
Two sources produce coherent light waves that come together at a detector located 3.20000 mm from one source and 3.20110 mm from the other.
