emitted by four different sources $S_1, S_2, S_3$ and $S_4$ respectively,interference phenomena would be observed in space under appropriate conditions when:

Two identical sinusoidal waves are moving in the same direction along a stretched string and interfere with each other. The phase difference between them is $120^{\circ}$. The amplitudes of both the waves are the same. If the amplitude of the resultant wave due to interference is $2 \,mm$, the amplitude of each wave is:

Two waves originating from $S_1$ and $S_2$,having zero initial phase difference and common wavelength $\lambda$,will show completely destructive interference at $P$,if $(S_1 P - S_2 P)$ is
