Q. The necessary conditions for a steady and stable interference pattern, produced by two sources of light, are,

(i)

two light sources must emit waves of equal frequency

(i i)

two point sources should have the same amplitude

(i i i)

two sources must have constant phase difference

(i v)

two sources must be close to each other

Q. Assertion :Three waves of equal amplitudes interfere at a point. Phase difference between two successive waves is

\frac{π}{2}

, Then resultant intensity is same as the intensity due to individual wave. Reason: For interference to take place source must be coherent.

Q. 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?
