Two radio antennas A and B radiate in phase. Antenna B is a distance of 110 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point Q along the extension of the line connecting the antennas, a horizontal distance of 30.0 m to the right of antenna B. The frequency, and hence the wavelength, of the emitted waves can be varied.

a)What is the longest wavelength for which there will be destructive interference at point ?
b)What is the longest wavelength for which there will be constructive interference at point ?

a) maximum wavelength for destructive interference = 220 m

b) maximum wavelength for constructive interference = 110 m

Explanation:

The antennas are placed such that

A 110 m B --30 m-- Q

For destructive interference, the difference in path length of the waves from each antenna is related to the wavelength through.

(m + ½)λ = |d₁ - d₂|

For maximum wavelength, m = 0 and

(λ/2) = |d₁ - d₂|

And for Constructive interference, the difference in path length of the waves from the two antennas is related to the wavelength through

mλ = |d₁ - d₂|

For maximum wavelength, m = 0

λ = |d₁ - d₂|

d₁ = path length from Q to A = 110+30 = 140 m

d₂ = path length from Q to B = 30 m

|d₁ - d₂| = 140 - 30 = 110 m

So, maximum wavelength for destructive interference is given as

(λ/2) = |d₁ - d₂| = 110

λ = 110 × 2 = 220 m

maximum wavelength for Constructive interference is given as

λ = |d₁ - d₂| = 110

λ = 110 m

Hope this Helps!!!

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
