To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to destructive interference (from the principle of superposition). This concept is understood as a superposition of two or more waves of identical or similar frequency that, when interfering, create a new wave pattern of less intensity (amplitude) at a point called a node. Mathematically it can be described as
Where,
d = Path difference
= wavelength
n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum
In this question the distance between the two source will be minimum for the case of minimum path difference, then n= 1
Therefore the minimum distance that should you separate two sources emitting the same waves is 2.5mm
It’s solved by using a pretty standard formula for efficiency.
