Interference does not occur when one wave is brighter than another, and the fainter wave cannot be observed. It occurs when two or more waves overlap.

What is the dimmest star in the constellation Perseus?

I don't think we can answer that as we are seeing fainter and fainter stars as technologies improve. The Hubble Space telescope showed stars never seen before but I am sure there are even fainter ones that we might see with new technologies one day.


The apparent visual magnitude of a star is 7.3?

That object is easily visible with a pair of binoculars. A star's apparent brightness is exactly 100 times less than another star if its apparent magnitude is +5 greater. So, the star of magnitude 7.3 appears 100 times fainter than a star of magnitude 2.3. (Polaris is a bit brighter than magnitude 2.3).


If two stars have the same apparent magnitude are they the same distance from Earth?

No. Brighter distant stars can have the same apparent magnitude as fainter stars that are closer.(Absolute magnitude does not refer to actual brightness, but rather to what the brightness of a star would likely be at an arbitrary distance of 10 parsecs, rather than its actual distance.)
