NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing two wave sources S1 and S2, creating an interference pattern. Point R is located such that the path difference S1P - S2P is 2.5λ. Which of the following best describes the type of interference at point R?
A
Destructive interference
B
Constructive interference
C
No interference
D
Partial interference
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
At point R, where the path difference is 2.5λ, the interference is destructive because it is an odd multiple of half wavelengths (n + 0.5)λ.
