Two coherent sources each emitting light...

Two coherent sources each emitting light of intensity `I_(0)` Interfere, in a medium at a point, where phase different between them is `(2pi)/3`. Then, the resultant intensity at that point would be.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given here, `phi=(2pi)/3`
and `I_(res)=4l_0 cos^2(phi/2)`
`=4l_0 cos^2 (pi/3)`
`=l_0`
