Two point sources produce waves in phase with the same amplitude and wavelength. The sources are a distance d apart. The distance from the right bisector to a point on the second nodal line is x2. The distance between the sources is cut in half. What is the new distance from the right bisector to the point on the second nodal line?

Question

Two point sources produce waves in phase with the same amplitude and wavelength. The sources are a distance d apart. The distance from the right bisector to a point on the second nodal line is x2. The distance between the sources is cut in half. What is the new distance from the right bisector to the point on the second nodal  line?

1)1/2 x2
2)x2
3)2 x2
4)4 x2

Without a picture, .... I am not certain what is meant by "right bisector" And secondly "is cut in half"...from what orginally?

There is no picture given to me in order to solve this question. I think so bisector in this question line passing through the midpoint. Any idea what would be the answer
