The two sources S1 and S2 shown in Fig. 35.3 emit waves of the same wavelength λ and are in phase with each other. Suppose S1 is a weaker source, so that the waves emitted by S1 have half the amplitude of the waves emitted by S2. How would this affect the positions of the antinodal lines and nodal lines? Would there be total reinforcement at points on the antinodal curves? Would there be total cancellation at points on the nodal curves? Explain your answers.
