Three sources of sound S1, S2 and S3 of equal intensity are placed in a straight line with S1S2 = S2S3 figure. At a point P, far away from the sources, the wave coming from S is 120° ahead in phase of that from S1. Also, the wave coming from S3 is 120° ahead of that from S2. What would be the resultant intensity of sound at P?
