S1, S2are two coherent sources (having initial phase difference zero) of sound located alongx−axis separated by4λwhereλis wavelength of sound emitted by them. Number of maxima located on the elliptical boundary around it will be : [S1andS2are assumed to be at focus of ellipse]

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

S1P-S2P=0
S1Q-S2Q=4λ

∴ 3 maximum lie on are between P and Q. Counting all quadrants; the total number is 12. P and Q symmetrical points are also maxima.

∴ Total number is 16
