Two monochromatic and coherent point sources of light are placed at a certain distance from each other in the horizontal plane. The locus of all those points in the horizontal plane which have constructive interference will be

Two waves of intensity ratio $1:9$ cross each other at a point. The resultant intensities at the point are $I_1$ when the waves are incoherent and $I_2$ when the waves are coherent with a phase difference of $60^{\circ}$. If $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{10}{x}$,then $x = . . . . . . . . . . .$

$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)

Two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ are separated by a distance four times the wavelength $\lambda$ of the source. The sources lie along the $y$-axis,whereas a detector moves along the $+x$-axis. Leaving the origin and far-off points,the number of points where maxima are observed is
