Answer :
Given:
S1 & S2 are in the same phase. At O, there will be maximum intensity.
There will be maximum intensity at P.
and
are right-angled triangles.
So,
( Is small and can be neglected)
.
So,
When n=1,
(1st order).
When n=2,
x=0 (2nd order).
So, when, the intensity at P is equal to the intensity at O.
