Question

Four light waves are represented by

(i) \[y =  a_1   \sin  \omega t\]

(ii) \[y =  a_2   \sin  \left( \omega t + \epsilon \right)\]

(iii) \[y =  a_1   \sin  2\omega t\]

(iv) \[y =  a_2   \sin  2\left( \omega t + \epsilon \right).\]

Interference fringes may be observed due to superposition of

(a) (i) and (ii)

(b) (i) and (iii)

(c) (ii) and (iv)

(d) (iii) and (iv)

Answer 1

(a) (i) and (ii)

(d) (iii) and (iv)

 

The waves are travelling with the same frequencies and varying by constant phase difference.
