Statement I: For the situation shown in ...

Statement I: For the situation shown in figure two identecal coherent light sources produce interference pattern on the screen. The intensity of minima nearest to `S_(1)` is not exactly zero.

Statement II: Minimum intensity is zero, when interfering waves have same intensity at the location of superposition.

A

Statement I is True, statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is Ture, Statement II is Ture, Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for Statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
At the location of minima, two waves have different intensities and hence minimum intensity is not exaclty zero.
