Statement-1 : Energy is created during constructive interference and it is destroyed during destructive intference.
Statement-2 : Because in constructive interference, the fringes are bright and in destructive interference, the fringes are dark.

A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-2 is correct explanation of Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, but Statement-2 is not a correct explanation of Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

D

Statement-1 is fasle, Statement-2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Energy is simply redistributed in constructive and destructive interference. Statement-1 is false, but statement-2 is true.

What is the condition of obtaining bright interference fringes?

(a) In Young's double slit experiment, derive the condition for (i) constructive interference and (ii) destructive interference at a point on the screen. (b) A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 800 nm and 600 nm is used to obtain the interference frings in a Young's double slit experiment on a screen placed 1.4 m away. If the two slits are separated by 0.28 mm, calculate the least distance from the central bright maximum where the bright fringes of the two wavelengths coincide.
