Question
Two point sources of sound are kept at a separation of 10 cm. They vibrate in phase to produce waves of wavelength 5.0 cm. What would be the phase difference between the two waves arriving at a point 20 cm from one source (a) on the line joining the sources and (b) on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the sources?

Therefore, the phase difference is zero.
(b) Zero: the particles are in the same phase since they have the same path.

Q.
Assertion :Two coherent point sources of light having non-zero phase difference are separated by a small distance. Then, on the perpendicular bisector of line segment joining both the point sources, constructive interference cannot be obtained. Reason: For two waves from coherent point sources to interfere constructively at a point, the magnitude of their phase difference at that point must be

(where
m

Q.
Statement-1: All points on a wavefront vibrate in same phase with same frequency
Statement-2: Two sources are said to be coherent if they produce waves of same frequency with a constant phase difference.
