A water wave is incident on a
breakwater as sketched
below. Huygen’s principle
has been used to make a
careful sketch of the form of
the waves on the back side of
the breakwater. The dotted
lines represent the peaks of

The top drawing was used to
determine the angles  at which
dark fringes occur, since any two
waves #1 and #2 which originate
from positions a/2 apart in the slit
are out of phase by /2.

(a) Yes. Any 2 waves such as #1 and #2 are in phase.
(b) No. A wave originating halfway between #1 and #2
would cancel wave #1.
(c) No. Amplitudes of the waves #1 and #2 are
different.
