If two sources emit light waves of different amplitudes, then:

  • A
    brightness of fringes is less
  • B
    fringes disappear after a short time
  • C
    fringe width is less
  • D
    there is some intensity of light in the region of destructive interference

$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)

In the figure below,$P$ and $Q$ are two equally intense coherent sources emitting radiation of wavelength $20\, m$. The separation between $P$ and $Q$ is $5\, m$ and the phase of $P$ is ahead of that of $Q$ by $90^{\circ}$. $A, B$ and $C$ are three distinct points of observation,each equidistant from the midpoint of $PQ$. The intensities of radiation at $A, B, C$ will be in the ratio

Two light sources are said to be coherent if they are obtained from

Two monochromatic coherent light waves of amplitudes $A$ and $2A$,interfering at a point,have a phase difference of $60^{\circ}$. The intensity at that point will be proportional to (in $A^2$)

Light waves producing interference have their amplitudes in the ratio $3: 2$. The intensity ratio of maximum and minimum of interference fringes is
