To demonstrate the phenomenon of interference, required two sources of light must have |
nearly the same frequency only different wavelengths same frequency and have a constant phase difference same frequency and have a rapidly changing phase difference |
same frequency and have a constant phase difference |
The correct answer is Option (3) → same frequency and have a constant phase difference Interference is the phenomenon where two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater, lower, or the same amplitude. To observe stable and sustained interference, the two light sources must be coherent, meaning:
If the phase difference changes randomly, the interference pattern will not be observable or stable. |
