The following figure shows sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ that emit light of wavelength $\lambda$ in all directions. The sources are exactly in phase and are separated by a distance equal to $1.5\lambda$. If we start at the indicated start point and travel along path $1$ and $2$,the interference produces a maxima all along:

  • A
    Path $1$
  • B
    Path $2$
  • C
    Any path
  • D
    None of these
