Answer

Diagram (b) best corresponds to point 3 and point 5 Diagram (c) best corresponds to point 1 and point 4 Diagram (d) best corresponds to point 2

Work Step by Step

Diagram (b) The two waves are exactly out of phase so the interference will be fully destructive. Diagram (b) best corresponds to point 3 and point 5 Diagram (c) The two waves are exactly in phase so the interference will be fully constructive. Diagram (c) best corresponds to point 1 and point 4 Diagram (d) The two waves are partly out of phase so the interference will be intermediate. Diagram (d) best corresponds to point 2
