Solution
The correct option is B False The correct answer is option(B).
Interference is nothing but simply a phenomena of redistribution of energy. If it is constructive then energy is increased and hence intensity also and if it is destructive then energy is decreased and hence intensity also. So energy is redistributed in constructive and destructive interference but remains conserved.
