Re: A little question please answer soon about waves..I expect this is too late, but none the less:
- The bottom wave path is 42cm long (30+12).
- The top wave path is 24cm long (18+6).
- The question tells you that the wavelength of the microwaves is 12cm.
- Therefore the bottom wave travels 3.5 wavelengths whilst the top wave travels 2 wavelengths.
- There is therefore a 1.5 wavelength phase difference which is obviously the same as being 180 degrees out of phase.
