When interference of light takes place

Answer the following questions: (b) As you have learnt in the text, the principle of linear superposition of wave displacement is basic to understanding intensity distributions in diffraction and interference patterns. What is the justification of this principle?

What is interference?

For the sustained interference of light, the necessary condition is that the two sources should

What is stationary interference ?

State two conditions to obtain sustained interference of light. In young's double slit experiment, using light of wavelength 400 nm, interference fringes of width X are obtained. The wavelength of light is increased to 600 nm and the separation between the slits is halved. if one wants the observed fringe width on the screen to be the same in the two cases, find the ratio of the distance between the screen and the plane of the slits in the two arrangements.

In a single slit diffraction pattern, if the light source is used of less wave length then previous one. Then width of the central fringe will be-
