Two waves are propagating along a taut string that coincides with the $x$-axis. The first wave has the wave function $y_1 = A \cos[k(x - vt)]$ and the second has the wave function $y_2 = A \cos[k(x + vt) + \phi]$.

Two small identical speakers are connected in phase to the same source. The speakers are $3 \,m$ apart and at ear level. An observer stands at $P, 4 \,m$ in front of one speaker as shown. The sound she hears is least intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_1$ and most intense when the wavelength is $\lambda_2$. Then,the possible values of $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are

The amplitude of the wave resulting from the superposition of $3$ waves given by $x_1 = A \cos \omega t$,$x_2 = 2 A \sin \omega t$ and $x_3 = \sqrt{2} A \cos (\omega t + \frac{\pi}{4})$ is

There is a destructive interference between two waves of wavelength $\lambda$ coming from two different paths at a point. To get maximum sound or constructive interference at that point,the path of one wave is to be increased by
