Answer:
[tex]y_1 = 14.65 cm[/tex]
Explanation:
As we know the relation between phase difference and path difference
[tex]\Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(\Delta x)[/tex]
so we will have
[tex]\Delta \phi = 152^o[/tex]
[tex]\Delta \phi = 0.84 \pi[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2\pi}{1.78 cm}(\Delta x) = 0.84 \pi[/tex]
[tex]\Delta x = 0.75 cm[/tex]
now distance of two sources are
[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{x_2^2 + y_2^2}[/tex]
[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{3.74^2 + 13.4^2}[/tex]
[tex]d_1 = 13.9 cm[/tex]
Now we have
[tex]y_1 - 13.9 = 0.75[/tex]
[tex]y_1 = 14.65 cm[/tex]
