Two radio antennas are 10 km apart on a north-south axis on high mountain tops at the seacoast. The antennas broadcast identical AM radio signals, in phase, at a frequency of 4.70 MHz

A steamship, 200 km offshore, travels toward the north at 15 km/h and passes east of the antennas. A radio on board the ship is tuned to the broadcast frequency. The reception of the radio signal on the ship is a maximum at a given instant. How much later until the next occurrence of maximum reception? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s) A) 5.1 min B) 3.8 min C) 6.4 min D) 7.7 min E) 8.9 min
