Two coherent sources of sound, S1 and S2, produce sound waves of the same wavelength, $\lambda $ = 1 m, in phase. S1 and S2 are placed 1.5 m apart (see fig). A listener, located at L, directly in front of S2 finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is 2 m away from S2. The listener moves away from S1, keeping his distance from S2 fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance d from S1. Then, d is :

Question

Two coherent sources of sound, S₁ and S₂, produce sound waves of the same wavelength, $\lambda $ = 1 m, in phase. S₁ and S₂ are placed 1.5 m apart (see fig). A listener, located at L, directly in front of S₂ finds that the intensity is at a minimum
when he is 2 m away from S₂. The listener moves away from S₁, keeping his distance from S₂ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance d from S₁. Then, d is :

12 m

2 m

3 m

5 m
