You need to use your cell phone, which broadcasts a signal at 900MHz
900MHz, but you are in an alley between two large buildings that have only a 5.0m
5.0m spacing between them. What is the angular width, in degrees, of the signal after it emerges from between the buildings?
Two radio antennas broadcasting in phase. = 900MHz
1-equation
Since the resultant wave is detected at distances much greater than d = 5m we may use 1-equation to give the directions of the intensity maxima, the values of for which the path difference is zero or a whole number of wavelengths.
The wavelength is .
From 1-equation with m = 0, and the intensity maxima are given by
