can anybody please help me, my question is how to find intensity at A,B,C,D,
what i know that is as constructive interference takes place at all points therefore intensity must be same at all places but it is not.
question is from narayan gta10 p2
plz somebody help here
The resultant amplitude at each point can be found using phasor method.
First find phase difference at each point on X axis. You should get ∆phase = (2pi/lambda)(|x| - |x-20|)
Now draw two phasors representing the different waves emanating from each source. One of magnitude 2A, and the other of magnitude 4A, and the angle between them equal to the phase difference as obtained earlier.
The magnitude of the resultant phasor should give you the net amplitude at any point along X axis. Now find amplitud

oh that was a misprint. check it again now

okay so for every case possible the phase difference will be a multiple of pi and thus only destrutive oor constructive interference will take place but in answer the intensities at every point was different
this was a match the column type and these were the options

See phase difference is used to find constructive or destructive but intensity does not only depends on this.

Ohhhh yeaaaaa I forgot that other factor
can you plz elaborate
He means that intensity of a beam of light depends on the distance from the source too. So you have to write your phasor diagram accordingly
I \propto A^2/r^2

i probably dont know this.
thankyou ill try now.
