  • A
    $nI_0$
  • B
    $\frac{I_0}{n}$
  • C

To observe a stationary interference pattern formed by two light waves,it is not necessary that they must have :

Two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ and a screen are arranged as shown in the figure. If the distance between the two coherent sources is $n \lambda$ and the distance of the screen from the nearer coherent source $S_2$ is $D$,then the distance of the first bright fringe on the screen from the point $O$ is (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light emitted by the coherent sources).
