"If you illuminate two pinholes using two lamps, the interference pattern will not be observed" - Explain.

In an interference experiment, the path difference between two interfering waves at a point $A$ on the screen is $\lambda/3$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of these waves, and at another point $B$ the path difference is $\lambda/6$. The ratio of intensities at points $A$ and $B$ is . . . . . . .
