Consider an YDSE that has different slit width. As a result, amplitude of waves from two slits are A and 2A, respectively. If I_(0) be the maximum intensity of the interference pattern, then intensity of the pattern at a point where phase difference between waves is phi is

Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. A fter interference, the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is 16. The intensity of the waves are in the ratio :

Assertion: Three waves of equal amplitudes interfere at a point. Phase difference between two successive waves is pi/2 . Then, resultant intensity is same as the intensity due to individual wave. Reason: Two different light sources are never coherent.
