Figure shows two point sources, S1 and S2 that emit light at wavelength λ = 500 nm and with the same amplitude. The emissions are isotropic and in phase, and the separation between the sources ts d = 2.00μm. At any point P on the x axis, the wave from S1 and the wave from S2 interfere. When P is very far away (x = ??), what are

(a) The phase difference between the waves arriving from S1 and S2 and

(b) The type of interference they produce (approximately fully constructive or fully destructive)?

(c) As we then move P along the r axis toward S1, does the phase difference between the waves from S1 and S2 increase or decrease?

(d) ?? (o) Fill in Table 35-4 for the given phase differences by determining the type of interference and the x coordinate at which the interference occurs.
