Explanation

**Wave addition** governed by phase difference determines resultant intensity ∝ A². Phase arises from path difference Δ = (2π/λ)·Δx, and resultant formula captures interference condition quantitatively for NCERT problems. Speed: v = v λ . Wavelength: λ = (v/v) = (12/8) = 1.5 m . Using v = fλ and standing-wave condition fₙ = n v/(2L) or v/(4L) as applicable, calculation yields 1.5 m, illustrating frequency-length-speed interdependence and quantization by boundaries. This aligns with NCERT Class 11 treatment, emphasizing conservation, symmetry and dimensional consistency useful for CBSE, NEET and CUET.
