उत्तर
Given:
Resultant intensity at P = I0
The two sources of sound S1 and S2 vibrate with the same frequency and are in the same phase.
(a) When θ = 45°:
Path difference = S1P − S2P = 0
So, when the source is switched off, the intensity of sound at P is \[\frac{I_0}{4}\] .
(b) When θ = 60°, the path difference is also 0. Similarly, it can be proved that the intensity at P is \[\frac{I_0}{4}\]
when the source is switched off.

The two sources of sound, S1 and S2, emitting waves of equal wavelength 20.0 cm, are placed with a separation of 20.0 cm between them.
