प्रश्न
Is it necessary to have two waves of equal intensity to study interference pattern? Will there be an effect on clarity if the waves have unequal intensity?

उत्तर
Interference pattern can be studied with waves of unequal intensity.
\[I =I_1 + I_2 + 2\sqrt{\left[ I_1 \times I_2 \right]}\cos\left( \phi \right),\]
where
\[\phi =\text{ phase difference}\]
In case of waves of unequal intensities, the contrast will not be clear, as the minima will not be completely dark.
