Question:

Figure shows four isotropic point sources of sound that are uniformly spaced on an x axis. The sources emit sound at the same wavelength λ and same amplitude sm, and they emit in phase. A point P is shown on the x axis. Assume that as the sound waves travel to P, the decrease in their amplitude is negligible. What multiple of sm, is the amplitude of the net wave at P if distance d in the figure is

(a) λ/a,

(b) λ/2, and

(c) λ?
