Question:
What happens to the interference pattern the two slits S1 and S2 in Young’s double experiment are illuminated by two independent but identical sources?
Options:
The intensity of the bright fringes doubled
The intensity of the bright fringes becomes four times
Two sets of interference fringes overlap
No interference pattern is observed
Correct Answer:
No interference pattern is observed
Explanation:
when we use two independent sources it never act as a coherent source and hence no interference patterns occur at screen and also no fringes are observed as two independent sources are not coherent.
