Two Identical Light Waves, a and B, Are Emitted from Different

Question 7

Multiple Choice

Two identical light waves, A and B, are emitted from different sources and meet at a point P. The distance from the source of A to the point P is LA; and the source of B is a distance LB from P. Which one of the following statements is necessarily true concerning the interference of the two waves?


A) A and B will interfere constructively because their amplitudes are the same.
B) A and B will interfere constructively if LA = LB.
C) A and B will interfere destructively if LA - LB = m λ\lambda where m = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...
D) A and B will interfere destructively if LA is not equal to LB.
E) A and B will interfere constructively because their wavelengths are the same.
