Interference — practice question

Coherent waves are generated at P and at Q, then move outwards in all directions. The line RS is exactly halfway between P and Q and at right angles to the line joining P and Q. The distance RS is much greater than the distance PQ. Along which of the lines illustrated is an interference pattern observed?

  • Aboth RS and XY
  • BRS only
  • CXY only
  • Dneither RS nor XY
