A Planar Cross Section Through Two Spherical Waves Emanating from the Sources

Multiple Choice

A planar cross section through two spherical waves emanating from the sources S₁ and S₂ in the plane is shown in the figure. S₁ and S₂ are in phase. The black circles are one and two wavelengths from their respective sources. The lighter circles are one half and one and a half wavelengths distant from their respective sources. If the waves shown arriving at P₂ both arrive with amplitude A, the resultant amplitude at point P₂ is
