How does wavefront division provide coherent sources?
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Wavefront division is the most commonly used method for producing two coherent sources.
- A point source produces spherical wavefronts. All the points on the wavefront are at the same phase.
- If two points are chosen on the wavefront by using a double slit, the two points will act as coherent sources.
