S1 and S2 are two coherent sources of sound of frequency 110 Hz each. They have no initial phase difference. The intensity at a point P due to S1 is I0 and due to S2 is 4I0. If the velocity of sound is 330m/s then the resultant intensity at P is

Solution
The correct option is D3I0 Wavelength λ=vf=330110=3m as velocity and frequency are given. The expression for intensity of two waves after interference is: I=I1+I2+2√I1I2cosϕ .....(1) where ϕ is the phase difference due to path difference ( S2P−S1P) As seen from the figure,
