Two sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ emit waves of wavelength $\lambda$. For destructive interference at point $P$,the path difference $(S_1P - S_2P)$ must be:

$S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are coherent point sources of light located in the $xy$-plane at points $(0,0)$ and $(0,3\lambda)$ respectively. Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light. At which one of the following points (given as coordinates) will the intensity of interference be maximum?

For the sustained interference of light,the necessary condition is that the two sources should

Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference,the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is $16$. The ratio of the intensities of the waves is:
