34. Wave Optics / Diffraction with Huygen's Principle / Problem 18

Consider an experimental setup where three equally spaced and equal-intensity coherent sources of green light (L1, L2, and L3) are placed in a line. Using the phasor method and phase difference 𝛿=2πdsinθλ𝛿=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}, determine the relative intensity I/I0I/I_0 of the light at point S.
Diagram showing three coherent green light sources L1, L2, L3 and point S with distance d and angle θ.
