Answer the following: (a) what are coherent sources of light ? Two slits in Young's double slit experiments are illuminated by two different sodium lamps emitting light of the same wavelength. Why is no interference pattern observed? (b) Obtain the condition for getting dark and bright fringes in Young's experiment. Hence write the expression for the fringe width. (c) If s is the size of the source and its distance from the plane of the two slits, what should be the criterion for the interference fringes to be seen?
