A sound source emits two sinusoidal sound waves, both of wavelength λ, along paths A and B as shown in figure. The sound travelling along path B is reflected from five surfaces as shown and then merges at point Q, producing minimum intensity at that point. The minimum value of d in terms of λ is :

Correct option (A)

Explanation:

Path difference = PathB – PathA

= 7d – 3d = 4d

[Note that there is no phase change in reflections from mirror in case of sound] For being out of phase :
