Two coherent waves, coming from sources at different loca- tions, move along the x axis. Their wave functions are E, = 860 sin 650 924mt + 6. and E, = 860 sin 924mt + 650 where E, and E, are in volts per meter, x, and x, are in nano- meters, and t is in picoseconds. When the two waves are superposed, determine the relationship between x, and x, that produces constructive interference.

In the figure, a point source Sof sound waves lies near a reflecting wall AB. A sound detector D intercepts sound ray R, traveling directly from S. It also intercepts sound ray R, that reflects from the wall such that the angle of incidence 0, is equal to the angle of reflection 62.
