Questions  

Intensity at a point due to Young's double slit experiment remain same when the two identical sources are coherent or incoherent. The phase difference between the two waves when they are coherent  is

a
π
b
π2
c
2π3
d
π3

detailed solution

Correct option is B

when sources are incoherent intensity at any point is I0+I0=2I0 but when they are coherent I=4I0cos2φ2=2I0
