Two waves are propagating to the point P along a straight line produced by two sources, A and B, of simple harmonic and equal frequency. The amplitude of every wave at P is ‘a’ and the phase of A is ahead by π/3 than that of B, and the distance AP is greater than BP by 50 cm. If the wavelength is 1 meter, then the resultant amplitude at point P will be: 
1. 2a
2. a3
3. a2
4. a

The minimum intensity of sound is zero at a point due to two sources of nearly equal frequencies, when :

1. Two sources are vibrating in opposite phase

2. The amplitude of the two sources are equal

3. At the point of observation, the amplitudes of two S.H.M. produced by two sources are equal and both the S.H.M. are along the same straight line

4. Both the sources are in the same phase
