    A radio transmitting station operating at a frequency of 120 MHz has two identical antennas that radiate in phase. Antenna B is 9 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point P at a horizontal distance x to the right of antenna A as shown in Fig. The value of x and order for which the constructive interference will occur at point P is                

    A) \[x=14.95m,\,\,n=2\]

    B) \[x=5.6m,\,\,\,n=2\]

    C) \[x=1.65m,\,\,\,\,n=3\]

    D) \[x=0,\,\,\,n=3.6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Path difference, \[\delta =BP-AP\] \[\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{9}^{2}}}-x=n\lambda \Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+{{9}^{2}}={{n}^{2}}{{\lambda }^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}+2n\lambda x\]\[\Rightarrow \,x=\frac{{{9}^{2}}-{{n}^{2}}{{\lambda }^{2}}}{2n\lambda }\] also \[\lambda =\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{120\times {{10}^{6}}}=2.5m\] n=1, x=14.95m; n=3, x=1.65m; n=2, x=5.6m; n=4 not possible
