Consider two coherent point sources separated by a small distance along a vertical line and two screens placed as shown in Figure. Which one of the choices represents the shapes of the interference fringes at the central regions on the screens?
For any point on screen , the diagram is as shown below.
We can see for point and the path difference would be same and hence they will have same intensity of light. On the plane, circumference of the circle (radius ) will also have same intensity ( same path difference). Hence the shape will be circular.
For screen ,we will get hyperbola( from the knowledge of YDSE).
Therefore, the correct answer is (A).
