Question
What happens to the interference pattern when two coherent sources are infinitely close?
Advertisements
Solution
The width of the fringe is proportional to the distance (d) between the sources. When coherent sources are put very close together, the fringe width becomes quite enormous, and a single fringe may dominate the whole field of view, preventing the pattern from being recognised.
