Question 1
Two coherent sources and separated by distance emit light of wavelength in phase as shown in the figure. A circular wire of radius is placed in such a way that lies in its plane and the mid-point of is at the centre of wire. 
(i) Find the angular positions on the wire for which constructive interference takes place. Hence or otherwise find the total number of maxima.
(ii) Find the angular positions (in the first quadrant) on the wire for which intensity reduces to half of its maximum value.

Question 2
In Youngs double-slit experiment using monochromatic light of wavelength , the intensity of light at a point on the screen where path difference is , is K units. What is the intensity of light at a point where path difference is /3?

Question 3
In a hall, a person receives direct sound waves from a source away. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the high ceiling at a point halfway between them. the two waves interfere constructively for wavelength (in metres):-

Question 4
A source S and a detector D of high frequency waves are a distance d apart on the ground. The direct wave from S is found to be in phase at D with the wave from S that is reflected rays make the same angle with the reflecting layer.  When the layer rises a distance h, no signal is detected at D. Neglect absorption in the atmosphere and find the relation between d, h, H and the wavelength of the waves.
