Two coherent sources have intensity ratio of 100 : 1, and are used for obtaining the phenomenon of interference. Then the ratio of maximum and minimum intensity will be –

Two coherent sources have intensity in the ratio of (100)/(1) . Ratio of (intensity) max/(intensity) min is

Light from two coherent sources of the same amplitude A and wavelength lambda illuminates the screen. The intensity of the central maximum is I_(0) . If the sources were incoherent, the intensity at the same point will be

The light waves from two coherent sources have same intensity I _(1) = I _(2) = I _(0). In interference pattern the intensity of light at minima is zero. What will be the intensity of light at maxima ?

Assertion (A) : Light from two coherent sources is reaching the screen. If the path difference at a point on the screen for yellow light is 3 lambda//2 , then the fringe at the point will be coloured. Reason (R ) : Two coherent sources always have constant phase relationship

In young's double slit experiment if the seperation between coherent sources is halved and the distance of the screen from coherent sources is doubled, then the fringe width becomes:

Two coherent sources separated by distance d are radiating in phase having wavelength lambda . A detector moves in a big circle around the two sources in the plane of the two sources. The angular position of n=4 interference maxima is given as
