    Among the two interfering monochromatic sources A and B; A is ahead of B in phase by 66°. If the observation be taken from point P, such that PB ? PA = l/4. Then the phase difference between the waves from A and B reaching P is

    A)            156°                                         

    B)            140°

    C)            136°                                         

    D)            126°

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Total phase difference = Initial phase difference + Phase difference due to path \[=66{}^\circ +\frac{360{}^\circ }{\lambda }\times \Delta x\]\[=66{}^\circ +\frac{360{}^\circ }{\lambda }\times \frac{\lambda }{4}\]\[=66{}^\circ +90=156{}^\circ \]
