Two monochromatic coherent point sources S_(1) and S_(2) are separated by a distance L. Each sources emits light of wavelength lambda , where L gt gt lambda . The line S_(1) S_(2) when extended meets a screen perpendicular to it at point A. Then

Two coherent sources S_1 and S_2 area separated by a distance four times the wavelength lambda of the source. The sources lie along y axis whereas a detector moves along +x axis. Leaving the origin and far off points the number of points where maxima are observed is

Assertion: Two coherent sources S_1 and S_2 are placed in front of a screen as shown in figure. At point P, 10th order maxima is obtained. Then , 11th order maxima will be obtained above P. Reason: For 11th order maxima path difference should be more.

Consider two coherent, monochromatic (wavelength lambda ) sources S_(1) and S_(2) , separated by a distance d. The ratio of intensities of S_(1) and that of S_(2) (which is responsible for interference at point P, where detector is located) is 4. The distance of point P from S_(1) is (if the resultant intensity at point P is equal to (9)/(4) times of intensity of S_(1) ) ("Given : "angleS_(2)S_(1)P=90^(@), d gt0 and n" is a positive integer")

Three coherent point sources S_(1),S_(2) and S_(3) are placed on a line perpendicular to the screen as shown in the figure. The wavelength of the light emitted by the sources is lambda.
