Interference — practice question

Sources at points P and Q generate two identical waves. These waves follow different routes to arrive at point R, as illustrated. Each wave has a wavelength of $6.0\,\text{cm}$. At point R, the waves are in phase. What phase difference is there between the waves as they leave points P and Q?

  • A$0^\circ$
  • B$60^\circ$
  • C$90^\circ$
  • D$120^\circ$
