In Young's double-slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude `A` and of wavelength `lamda`. In another experiment with the same set-up the two slits are sources of equal amplitude `A ` and wavelength `lamda`, but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is....
