springs if the cars are arranged differently. Sketch the arrangement,

(b) A microwave source is placed to the left of two narrow slits, S1 and S2, so that
these slits act as in phase sources.

A microwave sensor moved along the line AB detects maxima at the points
shown as dots. One of these points, Q, is directly in front of S1.

S2 Q – S1 Q, and hence determine the wavelength of the microwaves,
giving your reasoning. Note that point P is equidistant from S1 and S2.

(Young’s fringes) formula, showing your working clearly. [2]

Logarithms
[Unless otherwise specified ‘log’ can be loge (i.e.ln) or log10.]

log (ab) = log a + log b log = log a – log b

log xn = n log x loge ekx = ln ekx = kx
loge2 = ln 2 = 0.693
