Assertion: Three waves of equal amplitudes interfere at a point. Phase difference between two successive waves is `pi/2`. Then, resultant intensity is same as the intensity due to individual wave.
Reason: Two different light sources are never coherent.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Resultant amplitude is A.
So, intensity will remain same.
